Windows Server 2019 is missing from Workstation Pro 15.5.2

[SAbady]

My new installation of VMWare Workstation Pro 15.5.2 is missing option for Windows Server 2019. When I try to install from iso, it detects Windows 10. Under installing operating system later, server 2019 is not in the list.

Yes, that's correct.

Is it unsupported in 15.5.2?

[daphnissov]

It's supported, you'll just have to select Server 2016. The menu option hasn't been updated.

[SAbady]

Doesn't work... at least not the way I normally do installs which is point to iso on host.

Note that in 15.5.1 server 2019 is available. Not sure how the option got dropped between 15.5.1 and 15.5.2.

Note... it does work. I needed to change boot drive to host during install. Looks good now so far. Thanks.

Tried using Server 2016 with no success. Any help appreciated as to why this was dropped.

Absolutely no problem here using the 2016 option and installing from an ISO located on the host...

Thank you for your help. This issue was totally my own doing. Server Version 1903 omits GUID. When I pulled the appropriate image, VMware gave me the appropriate install options, and identified the image as server 2019. Apologies for wasting your time.
