I installed VMWare 17 and am trying to create a Windows 11 x64 from the ISO I downloaded from Microsoft (Win11_22H2_English_x64v1.iso).
During the new VM configuration is ISO is identified as being Windows 11.
I configure the machine to boot from the ISO.
When I start the VM the CD icon on the status bar has a red cross on it and the machine never boots. The message log reports "If you have an operating system installation disc, you can insert the disc into the system's CD-ROM drive and restart the virtual machine."
I am not able to remove the red cross from the CD icon.
Also I'm not able to enter into the the BIOS of the newly created VM.
Thanks
Update
I copied a VM I had on a Windows platform and ran it. It asked whether I moved or copied the VM and I selected copy.
The VM never came up.
