Problem:
Windows 11 ARM installation on VMware Fusion for macOS Silicon is stuck at the install network driver stage. VMware Fusion prompts for the installation of a network driver, but no driver can be found.
Root Cause:
The Microsoft Windows 11 ARM ISO does not include a driver for the VMware network adapter known as vmxnet3.
Fix: It's easy.
Mount an ISO embedded in your macOS VMware Fusion to the guest OS as a CD-ROM (Shut down your installation before adding a CD-ROM device to your Windows guest OS), and select the network driver path to the folder named 'vmxnet3' inside the CD-ROM . Enjoy!
Your ISO file path: (be aware of space characters inside)
/Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/isoimages/arm64/windows.iso

The Unofficial Fusion for Apple Silicon Companion Guide was mentioned. Although I have not had the luxury to thoroughly read or comprehend what ESD means or download it, the fix should be quite straightforward.
问题:
在 macOS Silicon 的 VMware Fusion 上安装 Windows 11 ARM 时,卡在了安装网络驱动程序的阶段。VMware Fusion 提示安装网络驱动程序,但找不到相应的驱动。
根本原因:
微软 Windows 11 ARM 的 ISO 文件中不包含名为 vmxnet3 的 VMware 网络适配器驱动程序。
修复方法: 非常简单。
将嵌入在 macOS VMware Fusion 中的 ISO 文件作为 CD-ROM 挂载到来宾操作系统中(在将 CD-ROM 设备添加到 Windows 来宾操作系统之前,请关闭您的安装),然后把 CD-ROM中根目录下名为 'vmxnet3' 的目录, 选择其作为网络驱动程序路径。尽情享受吧!
您的 ISO 文件路径:(注意路径中的空格字符)
/Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/isoimages/arm64/windows.iso

提到了一个名为《非官方 Apple Silicon 版 Fusion 13 配套指南》的冗长文档,不过我并没有那么奢侈去通读或尝试理解 ESD 是什么意思或下载它。修复应该非常简单。
