I solved this way:

1.Make sure to download the update and get to the dialog above.
2.Open "C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources" with Explorer
3.Enter the "Panther" directory
4.Search for "Workstation" in Explorer (make sure to have "search file contents" ticked)
5.Let Windows populate the search results. When done, open the first file ending with "_APPRAISER_HumanReadable.xml"
6.Locate the "Asset" node in "WicaRun/Assets" with the Property children "VMware Workstation"
7.Check the "RootDirPath" node, and copy its "Value"
8.Locate the file in Explorer and zip it.
9.Click Refresh in the Modern Setup dialog.
10.If needed, repeat from step 5 with the next file in the list, until the Setup continues.
Hope this helps as it did for me.
