So, I made a windows 7 virtual machine and VMware tools will not install. It just fails to install loads of stuff. I use custom and unselect the stuff that fails to install. It just rolls back. I'm using VMware workstation pro btw. Windows update just fails to check for updates.

Make Sure Windows 7 is fully up to date (SP 1 plus all updates). Then install VMware Tools manually. docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Tools/11.3.0/…– JohnMay 6, 2022 at 19:08

Download and install "Security Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB3033929)"
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=46148
You should now be able to boot into VMware Windows 7
