Hi there
Having got the vm to work on a W7 Host machine I thought of trying it out on Esxi -- I have a few VM's running on vmware's Esxi which I run on a fairly modest "White Box".
Direct install of the vm using vSphere fails but using the stand alone vmware converter to convert the vm I got running under vmware workstation W8 works fine.
Cheers

That nice to know. People got Windows 8 install to work on VMWare Workstation 8. Since it's paid version I'm not able to test it.

Hopefully W8 will be installable on vmware 7.1.x after a few updates (on Windows 8) since a lot of people won't upgrade to vmware workstation 8 for some time yet.
