Just a friendly request, don't upload 14+ Mega Pixel photo's ;-)
Downsize them to 1024x768-ish ones.

What specs did you give the VM?

VMware 9 is just the client type version iirc?

Been years since I worked with the client version, but doesn't mean it doesn't work.

Specs wise you're fine. Depending on what you're going to do with it, the 40GB might be too much.
As a simple home firewall/router without proxy and IDS 10GB already is more then enough.

I can't see why it's going bad. Probably Franco can help you more here.

Does the Image Checksum match? Does bumping the VM memory to 2 GB help?

So far we've identified low RAM to be the source of virtually every installer issue in VMs. :)
