Are you referring to 'hosted-engine --deploy' on the host, to 'engine-setup'
inside the VM, both? You need a different answer file for each, and the one
generated for 'hosted-engine --deploy' is currently not enough for automatic
unattended installation. For that, see [1].

In addition to the above, if you suspect a real bug, logs and answer files
will help.
