Installing x64 Windows Server 2003 with WinPE 2.1 on Vmware Guest

[dim]

I am trying rewriting our winPE 2005 process for WinPE 2.1 for a scripted installation and while testing it on a Vmware Guest

I get the following error

Info: Attempting to load a 64-bit application, however this CPU is not compatible with 64-bit mode. (Picture is attached)

I have searched around this morning on the web and I can't find any information regarding this.

Please tell me it's possible to build a scripted installation of x64 W2k3 using winPE 2.1 on Vmware.

Currently, our Vmware Farm is 3.0.

Thanks in advance -

The issue is fixed.. I didn't think it would be this easy..

When creating a VM, make sure you select the x64 OS you are creating.. Whoops.. I bypassed that one too fast with a mouse click.
