Andrew, one other recomendation if they are getting to the language selection screen, and ctrl+windows+enter isn't generating any speech, then its possible there's an issue with the sound drivers. Most of the time VMWare's drivers load in Windows PE but I've seen a time or two on some Windows builds where that doesn't happen for who knows what reason. A good fix is to plug in a USB sound device, such as a USB headset, and have VMWare pass that through to the VM. USB audio should definitely work.

Hi,
Can you get sighted assistance or read the screen using OCR to identify whether you have issues booting into the ISO image?
The steps I usually follow are:
1. Use Media Creation tool and create ISO image.
2. Save image to somewhere you can get to via the Vmware software.
3. Start up the new machine ensuring the ISO file is inserted in the virtual CD rom.
4. When the machine is started you should see a screen with language and keyboard options. If in that window press ctrl+win+enter Narrator should start, but ensure you can get to this screen.
If you get to the screen and pressing this gives you no sound it's a problem with the VM sound, it sounds more likely to me though you can't boot into the installation prgraom on the ISO.
Andrew.
