The only way to detect if it is running under vmware is to try a instruktion, which trows an exception if it isn't running under vmware. 2 solutions:
- try to continue with the kernel debugger
- kill/rename the vmwinst.exe
For a many month I am unable to install ReactOS with DBG=1 and KDBG=1 enabled.
On the same hardware, version with DBG=0 and KDBG=0 installs and runs fine.
DBG=1, KDBG=1 enabled ReactOS booted by freeldr asks for COMUTERNAME, Name, password, time zone etc. etc. and asks for reboot.
If you hit cancel, it will skip vmware detection IIRC. That should be made more clear somehow.

Here's a simple experiment. Stand on a train track between two locomotives
which are pushing on you with equal force in opposite directions. You will
exhibit no net motion. None the less, you may soon begin to notice that
something important is happening.
