Setup cannot continue. Press any key to exit.

When I exit, the system continued to boot anyway.

Run the VMware guest64check-5.5.0-18463.exe. This host is capable of running a 64-bit guest operating system under this VMware product. NOTE: If you have this error, check your hardware Virtualization Technology. You need to enable it, normally through BIOS setup. For example, using DELL hardware. Press F2-Setup during boot up, go to CPU Information and enable the Virtualization Technology to fix this error.
