I've installed VMWare server on several freshly built hardware servers over the past year. I'm still tripped up by the message that often pops up: "The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation." Here are the steps to adjust the local security policy to allow the installation:
1) Start/Administrative Tools/Local Security Policy
2) Right Click on 'Software Restriction Policies' and select 'New Software Restriction policies'
3) Double click 'Enforcement'
4) Select "All users except local administrators"
5) Exit Local Security Settings
4) Click OK
5) You will not be prompted to reboot, but you should. Reboot.
I tried to run GPUPDATE to update the global and local policies instead of rebooting, but it didn't work. I still ultimately had to reboot. I installed VMWare then still had to reboot again.
