Unable to start installation of Windows 10

I tried installing windows 10 on VMware fusion. I downloaded the ISO file. Choose for it to save on a shared folder than click the arrow button to begin installation. I get the message failed to power on '/UsersShared/Windows10 x64.vmwarevm/Windows 10 x64.vmx' Not sure what to do to fix this and knowledge base has no response to this.

drag the iso to the new VM wizard, that should configure everything to boot properly.

I never seen VM Wizard before. Where do I go to use that?

What version of Fusion are you using, and what version of MacOS are you using?
