When installing VMware, I received this prompt.

According to https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/78708, it seems to be a signature verification issue.

Download these two updates and install them in the virtual machine.

Microsoft Update Catalog

Then connect the CD/DVD drive in VMware.

You should now be able to complete the installation successfully.
