Unable to read package metadata. This may be due to missing repodata directory. Please ensure that your install tree has been correctly generated

I believe that i had this same issue and was able to solve it.

The files under the /repodata folder are missing their file extensions and are not matching their full names in the "TRANS.TBL" file, under this same dir.

Rename all the files to match what is in the "TRANS.TBL" file, then try the install over again.

Please let everyone know if this works for you.

In the past i would just put a URL in that pointed to the correct files on a server, i feel that most people take this workaround and that's why it's not as hot of an item as it should be. I hope this gets fixed in the .ISO.

Thank you,

It worked for me. I renamed all 8 files. i.e. 0e371b19e547b9d7a7e8acc4b8c0c7c074509d33653cfaef9e8f4fd1d62d95de 0e371b19e547b9d7a7e8acc4b8c0c7c074509d33653cfaef9e8f4fd1d62d95de-primary.sqlite.bz2

The correct file name is given in file "repomd" under folder repodata example - location href="repodata/b124f0ec5323cfee56b420906a3103f0daef656dde3f7ac8220120aa7504e57a-primary.xml.gz"
