It is very much exciting to install and know-how Windows 8 Consumer Preview.
Windows 8 CP can be downloaded and from Microsoft Website and it can be tested
with VMWare Workstation 8. But many people are getting several errors while
installing Windows 8 Consumer Preview on VMWare 8. I have posted one of such
errors and its fix in my earlier post. Here is another one:
If you are installing Windows 8 on VMWare Workstation using default
configuration, you might get the below error:
“Windows cannot read the <ProductKey> setting from the unattended
answer file.”
See the error Window screenshot below.

There is an easy fix for this issue.
After you see this message, click “Ok” and power down the VM. Now go to
the VM’s hardware settings and remove the floppy drive and then power on the
VM.
Once you power on the Virtual Machine, you can see Windows 8 installation
running normally.
