Windows Server 2022 install on an outside VM such as VirtualBox or VMWare Pro

[Patrick1700]

Has anyone ever come across installation issues with trying to install on a VM such as VirtualBox or VMWare Pro.  I had a successful install of this on a PC but had to delete/uninstall it due to problems I had while use.  I then tried to reinstall using several different methods but keep getting errors like this:

I've tried contacting MS for help but cannot get any answers that work.  Can someone please respond?  Thank you.

UPDATE: Just wanted to add that it should not be a licensing issue as I redid the same steps I used for the first install (from scratch).  This did not change anything.

Make sure the virtual machine does not have any floppy drives attached.
