As per the Screenshot above we are going to need to make a few adjustments to the system. Firstly go ahead and increase the memory to 1024 (1gig) and then Remove the USB Controller and remove the sound adapter. You can also go ahead and remove the floppy drive. Once this has been done confirm the Ethernet is setup as per the screenshot below.

Once this has been setup we are now ready to install the base system but before we do this we must edit the Base CD. The easiest program to do this is called WinISO and I recommend you get it before continuing. The file we are going to replace is called HWVer.dll and resides in the root directory of the base3.1 cd. This file needs to be replaced with a modified version to allow for the Installer to proceed otherwise you will get an error as soon as you try and install it.

Select Open and choose the Base3.1 ISO.

Right click on HWVER.DLL and click delete. Now click Actions at the top and select add file. Locate the modified hwver.dll and hit OK. Now you can click Save at the top and close WinISO.

Now you have successfully modified the Base3.1 so that it will boot.

Go back to Vmware and double click on the cdrom, choose the base3.1 iso by the Use Iso Method.
