Thanks for testing the beta! I think this might be the same issue as https://github.com/pop-os/beta/issues/364

Not really, because that issue (which I opened) 1) occurs on QEMU and not VMware, and 2) doesn't result in a "Could Not Install" but rather it prevents the VM from booting.

Unfortunately, I don't have any clue about fixing this issue.

I can't reproduce this. Are you using the Intel/AMD or NVIDIA iso? Also have you tried this again with the newest beta? This one worked for me. pop-os_22.04_amd64_intel_3.iso

I believe this was fixed with https://github.com/pop-os/distinst/pull/289
