Vmware tools not installing on windows beta versions

I was trying to install VMware tools on a beta version of WIndows 7 but there was a prompt that said the OS is not supported when I tried to launch the VMware tools installer. Is there any solutions to this? I tried using different VMware tools ISO files like "Windows.iso", "winPre2K.iso", and "winPreVista.iso". All of them showed the same or similar prompt as the one in the picture.image_2022-07-05_164106020.png

I am not sure if I remember right but I think a "whistler.iso" was available for sometime.
If you dont find it - install drivers for svga and mouse only - to do that copy driver and inf-files from a working win7 VM.
