Is there a trick to installing Vista in UEFI mode?

$

I have been setting up some UEFI VMs and I'm having trouble with Vista.

As per other posts I've seen I enabled UEFI by creating a new VM and then entering the following into the .vmx file

firmware = "efi"

bios.forceSetupOnce = "TRUE"

I then powered up to the BIOS to confirm that it was indeed configured for UEFI

(I did the same for Windows 7 which installs without a problem)

 

I'm also aware that my installation media has to be 64bit Vista SP1, which it is.

 

When I try to boot up from the installation media the following appears.

It seems that the install is recognising that it is a UEFI formatted CD but just won't boot from it. Hence my question.

Thanks for any assistance.
