Trouble installing Windows 11 with Fusion 13.5 on M1 Mac

I keep receiving this error when trying to install Windows 11 Arm through Fusion 13.5 during Fusion 13.5 installation/setup on my M1 MacBook Pro:

"Esd2iso tool failed to get ESD url and sha for Windows 11 (null) version for en-us
language from Microsoft."

Any ideas as to how I fix/get past this?

Is your macOS system language set to something other than English?

If not, try it again (could be a problem on Microsoft's side).

If all else fails,, try the using the command line version of the utility. Detailed instructions can be found in the Unofficial Fusion Companion Guide https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Fusion-Documents/The-Unofficial-Fusion-13-for-Apple-Silicon-Companion-Guide/ta-p/2939907.
