VMware does not provide a version of Windows 11 ARM - you must either use the Windows 11 on ARM Insider Preview VHDX file or an ISO built from uupdump.net.

Without you saying exactly what you did, I can't pinpoint where you might have gone wrong.

See the attached excerpt from the upcoming unofficial companion guide that I'm putting together and publishing shortly. This should help you get Windows 11 on ARM running.
