Hey, it's no longer possible to install Win98 in VMware. You will get file error messages during the installation. It's a CPU problem of modern CPUs and there's already a fix on GitHub:

But it's a bit complicated to apply this fix. You should update VMWare to be able to install Win98 again. Because it's the sense of using this program. Thank you!!
