Linux version to choose when installing on VMware?

Question

There certainly is a paucity of information with instructions for installing on VMware. I downloaded the XG ISO and tried to install it in VMware Player where I've played with UTM. I tried with several different choices for the underlying OS and was unsuccessful with each.

 Bob, 
 VMWare Player runs a virtual machine. It can't create one from an ISO. You need to install the Sophos XG ISO into a full version of VMWare. Then, you can take that virtual machine and run it in VMWare Player.
