Do not use LiveUSB creator, it doesn't work with this release of CentOS.
I had the same problem, I recreated the USB flash drive using dd under Linux ( dd bs=4M if=CentOS-7-x86_64-Everything-1503-01.iso of=/dev/sd[letter of your USB drive] ), and it worked like a charm.
If you do not have access to a Linux machine, you need to report this problem to LiveUSB-Creator developers and/or CentOS developers.

All of that seems to indicate I'm downloading the files from a remote server, shouldn't the iso have all of the necessary installation files already in it? ... It should ideally have. Not sure why it's reporting that error.

you set up defines a CD install, but your kick script defines a network location.
Steps I am performing for kickstart. mount /dev/sr0 /webdir/rhel //CD rom iso is mounted here chown -R root:root /website/rhel chmod 755 /webdir/ks.cfg
# Use CDROM installation media
#cdrom
url --url http://192.168.1.201/rhel
shouldn't it be something like:
# Use CDROM installation media
cdrom
repo --name="RHEL7" --baseurl=cdrom:sr0

I have been searching for this solution whole day, After quite a lot of googling . It has worked .
I have changed only one line in ks.cfg
**
# Use CDROM installation media
#cdrom
url --url="http://192.168.1.215/rhel" // only added = and "" only
# Use graphical install
graphical
**
Repeat of steps again for others:
Server Setup:
using http
webdir= /var/www/html
mkdir /webdir/rhel <br>
mount /dev/sr0 /webdir/rhel //CDROM iso is mounted here <br>
chown -R root:root /website/rhel <br>
chmod 755 /webdir/ks.cfg<br>
Client:
Press Esc:
boot: linux ks=http://192.168.1.215/ks.cfg
It worked perfect.

When I switched over to a console to try to troubleshoot this, I noticed that /run/install/sources/mount-0000-cdrom/AppStream didn't exist (the "mount-0000-cdrom" directory is empty), but /run/install/repo/AppStream does, and appears to have all the right information within it. I've tried specifying that directory as the baseurl instead, and get no difference in behavior.

Are you using the dvd or boot iso? Boot iso doesn't have the OS, and needs to be pointed to a download location, the DVD iso has the OS to install.

8.4? or 9.4? I would recommend 9.4 as that's the latest. I'm assuming that is a typo. I think the comments about boot i do vs binary dvd are spot on. if you downloaded the boot iso (which is much smaller) it doesn't contain any of the software packages and assumes that you can connect to the internet during install. So if anything goes wrong with your network connection the install will fail with repo errors. This might point to an issue with your network settings for the vm though. The boot iso SHOULD work if you can reach the internet.
