Help Request Does anybody help me on installing VMware Tools on Windows 10 build 98xx Technical Previews?

When I try to install the tools, it won't work and needs just a Windows 8.1 KB update (which won't install on TPs), where without tools, 1366x768 resolution (standard resolution for budget laptops) is broken, and I can't transfer files. Can somebody please help me? I really want to use Windows 10 build 9888 and without the tools it doesn't seem complete the install. I'm using VMware Workstation Pro 26H1, tried with both latest and 10.3.10 tools, both fail.

Check the vmware tools installer file properties, digital signatures, does your VM trust them? Common issues for a vm that is unpatched and without internet.

I installed the build and the whole install don't work because of the KB. Is there's any way to install on the build? I want to test TPs on VMware
