Fusion 13 and windows 11

Package failed updates error when trying to run VMware tools when loading windows 11 on M1 Mac. The install tools prompt is then greyed out so can't reset. Win 11 ARM is running but need tools to connect to internet etc .
Is there a way of manually loading the tools so I can complete installation?

You don't double-click on the setup.ps1 in Windows Explorer to install Tools on a Windows 11 ARM VM under Fusion 13. Instead run Powershell as administrator, then issue the following commands

cd D:\
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
.\setup.ps1

Highly recommend skipping Fusion 13 and using the tech preview instead.  Build the VM using the instructions in the unofficial guide - not the official instructions.

You mistyped the commands. 
Those are 3 separate commands. Enter them one line at a time hitting return/enter at the end of the line.
