I've researched the you should disable windows10 secure boot option in vmware settings (Advanced tab) in order to get it working. I'd like to see a message about this things instead of HRESULT ^^

Thanks for reporting this issue. I went ahead and made a fix in 6a08a14d43af08fe830f8391d9e941fb38e2bbba which should detect secure boot and report back a proper error message. This will be in the next release.
