Trouble installing Windows 11 with Fusion 13.5 on M1 Mac

I keep receiving this error when trying to install Windows 11 Arm through Fusion 13.5 during Fusion 13.5 installation/setup on my M1 MacBook Pro:

"Esd2iso tool failed to get ESD url and sha for Windows 11 (null) version for en-us
language from Microsoft."

Any ideas as to how I fix/get past this?

Is your macOS system language set to something other than English?

If not, try it again (could be a problem on Microsoft's side).

If all else fails,, try the using the command line version of the utility. Detailed instructions can be found in the Unofficial Fusion Companion Guide https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Fusion-Documents/The-Unofficial-Fusion-13-for-Apple-Silicon...

Look for the topic in chapter 15: Windows 11 download tool in Fusion GUI fails to create ISO

@jomo3, can you please check the following

1.if the MacBook Pro system language is other than English.

2.Quit Fusion and relaunch it. Now start the Windows 11 download. If you are seeing the same issue again, please share the logs and support bundle.

You can get the support bundle from Fusion menu : Help->Collect Support Information->Quick.

You can get the logs using below->

(a) Go to Apple menu: Go->Go to Folder.

(b) Type this in the search box: /Users/<RespectiveUsername>/Library/Logs/VMware Fusion and hit enter

(c) Collect all the vmware-vmfusion and fusion.log and you can attach the same here.
