VMWare 14 & NVMe controller - Windows 7 MS In-Box driver incompatible

Hi,

On my VMWare Player 14, I have selected NVMe disk and created a Virtual Windows 7 64 Guest in EFI Mode.

The Microsoft NVMe driver for Windows 7 (Hotfix 2990941 & 3087873) are integrated into Windows 7 ISO.

Yet  Windows 7 Guest setup fails to progress beyond Starting Windows logo. You remove NVMe disk and put SATA or SCSI and it installs fine.

Where could be the issue? Is this some sort of bug in MS Driver or could it be some bug in the VMWare NVMe controller?

Would appreciate further clarity on the same.
