    It sounds like the download is corrupt.  Try to re-download it.

    Instructions for installation in VMware:
    When you create a New virtual machine
    -Choose the option: I will install the operating system later.
    The virtual machine will be created with a blank hard disk.
    (Do not type the path to the ISO file).
    -After creating New virtual machine additionally set the path to the ISO file (VM/ settings/ CD-DVD.../Use ISO image file)
    -After running the New virtual machine to automatically install classicl (otherwise runs probably Express= error)

    Wereet's solution worked perfectly with VMware Fusion 5 on Macintosh OSX Mountain Lion.

    Specifically for Mac users:

    1.In the Virtual Machine Library, click 'Add New'.

    2. Select 'Continue without Disk'.

    3. Next select 'Create a custom virtual machine'.

    4. Choose the operating system i.e. Windows 8, and click Finish in the next window. The virtual machine should show up in your library. Now select the virtual machine, and click 'Settings'. 

    5. In the 'Removable Devices' row (the second row), click on 'CD/DVD (IDE)'; make sure the ON/OFF toggle next to 'Enable CD/DVD Drive' is set to ON, and in the drop-down list, choose 'Choose a disc or disc image...'. Select your DVD installation disc or ISO file, and you're ready to go.

    6. Close the 'Settings' window, and launch your virtual machine. Continue installation as usual.

    Hi,

    By the following instruction you should be able to install Windows 8 on Vmware workstation 9.

    1.  On the wizard where you are begin to create your virtual machine Choose the option (I will install the operating system later)

    2. Once you complete the wizard you can address again the iso file to start your installation. Then you are done.

    Good luck !

    When creating the VM using the iso file vmware workstation 9 creates an autoinstall floppy device regardless if you remove the floppy at creation or not. If you get the error, go back into the settings and remove the floppy device. Power on the VM and the installation should start normally.
