The short answer, just keep hitting enter for that, and all the questions that follow, and VMware will set all to the defaults that it needs. Below are some of the other questions that you'll be asked.

Please choose a directory for your shared virtual machines.

    @UriHerrera Sometimes a short answer is all you need. In fact, it would have worked with only the second line. While general policies exist to prevent answer spamming, taking time to write a longer answer which presents no more content doesn't help anyone.
