VMware Workstation not letting mount isos, and crashing when starting a virtual machine

Hey guys, i was trying to make a virtual machine for testing old software n' such, but the problem is a get a error when i try to mount a iso on the setup. 

And even if i get it to bypass that, it crashes the entire program no matter what OS i run.

Any solutions?

(The video is the result of trying to run the vm if i bypass the iso mounting)

It would seem that your iso file is corrupt, or there is a permission problem? WS is telling you that it can't read it.

Easy install for win98 ????
I doubt that that ever was a working combination.
Try a regular install.

Q1: Was ISO file selv created by Physical CD?

Q2: Could you mount the ISO inside of W10 Host?

Please Upload the vmware Log Files to Analyze Startup data of VM, also additional th *.vmx File of VM

You can create the VM without ISO.
When Configuration and creating is finished, you can setup the iso to CDRom of VM and start.

Some times there was an Issue when use the within Easy Install.

Select "I will install an OS later" at that screen you have in the first post.
