Okay so Just Follow these steps and you can install Vista on Vmware , did it last night with no problem

steps are

1. Create a new VM

2. Memory 512MB

3. Hard Disk (IED 0:0) 20GB

4. CD-ROM (IDE 1:0) Pointing to the ISO Image

5. Ethernet 1 "Bridged"

Start VM

1. Boots the DVD

2. When you get to the part where it ask to pick the disk, delete the existing partition.

3. Recreate the partition

4. Exit the install and reboot the VM

5. During the VM BIOS hit F2 then change the boot order to have the CD/DVD be the first boot device

6. Save and Exit the BIOS

7. When you get to the part where it ask to pick the disk again, highlight then choose format

8. Now select again then choose install

9. It will now start the installation process

10. After a couple of reboots and 45 minutes later (depending on your host machine), the install will be done.

11. You are now logged in but no network, video, and sound

12. Install the VMware tools to get the video going

13. After VMWare Tools reboot and the video will be better

14. Still no network or sound, active the VMware tools so the VM can see the tools on drive D:

15. Goto Device manager, right click the ethernet controller, go to properties, then reinstall the driver.

16. During the reinstall it search the CD-ROM (vmware tools) for the right network driver.

17. You should now have network and able to surf the Internet with IE 7, but still no sound

18. Surf to www.soundblaster.com

19. select drivers from the right bottom panel

20. then North America/United States/English then Go

21 then choose Sound Blaster/Other/16PCI then click Next

22. Choose English/Windows XP/Drivers then Go

23. Download the "Driver release for SB PCI 128 Vibra / PCI 16"

Actually, this is what MSDN states for that:

Attention! In order to install this version of Windows, you must get a retail product key.

This key may be used to activate 10 PCs per the terms of the MSDN End-User License Agreement. For the answers to common questions regarding the use of software included in your MSDN subscription, please see the MSDN License FAQ.
