VMWare player is only for *PLAYING* VMWare files. In order to set a
VM up you gotta get VMWare Desktop or VMWare Server, like I have here
on my box. Plus, VMs are much, much slower than normal boxes so it's
not really a red herring if you can't even install the OS on the VM!
For example, I couldn't even get Windows 2000 Server on the VM to
even initilize the text-mode setup program (WINNT.EXE)!
Easy way to fix that.

Will build the player files for you with the hardware/settings you want.
