"The boot Configuration Data for my PC is missing or contains errors" VMware and Windows Server 2016

Hello, I recently downloaded a copy of Windows Server 2016 From TechNet. I've had Server 2016 on VMware many times but just reinstalled Windows and need to install it again. My problem is, after setting up all the info in VMware, and using the ISO in the CD Drive, I fire up the VM. I get to a screen saying click anything to boot from CD or DVD (which usually isn't there) and I click any key. Then it takes me to Windows Boot Manager and says "The boot Configuration Data for my PC is missing or contains errors." It asks me to Repair my computer (see first picture.) I tried hitting F12 while starting the VM and it takes me to Boot Manager (see 2nd picture). But all the options take me to the "press any key to boot from DVD" and then I get the error again. Please take a look at the pics and help me install Server 2016. I never had this problem before with VMware and the TechNet Trials of Windows Server 2016. I also noticed the download size of the ISO went down from around 6GB to 4.5GB. Not sure if that has anything to do with it. Please reply. Thanks
