Hello,

Welcome to Workstation Community!

Looks like your installation image is not valid. The virtual machine cannot boot from your virtual CD/DVD device, then it tries to boot from the network. Your network does not have a PXE server, so finally you got the error messages about PXE.

Could you try another OS image file? or download it again?

Regards,

Shawn
