VMware Fusion is for MAC, you need to take VMware Workstation or Player.

Hi,

the VMware products that you can install on Windows are VMware Player and VMware Workstation.

VMware Player is free while Workstations needs a license but comes with much more features.

You can find more infos here:

Hi,

You sholud look some way to run Mac programs over Win platforms...I don't know any way to do that and I guess that even when there's a way to do that, it will be more complicated to do it with a program like Fusion (it works in a deeper layer than any "regular office" program).

Sorry to say, I don't think you'll be able to do it. But, if you need to use Windows on a Mac computer and you have the option to do it with Boot Camp, that could help you to take profit of your Fusion license (to run over a Mac OS...) and have your Windows in other partition. It's not exactly what you are looking for but maybe...it could help you.

You can't do that.  Apples EULA prohibits running OSX on non-apple hardware.
