Android X86 6.0 boot stuck on Boot Logo in VMWare

Today I downloaded the ISO file for the latest Android X86 (64-bit)version - the stable build for Android 6.0 AKA Marhmallow - from https://osdn.jp/projects/android-x86/downloads/65890/android-x86_64-6.0-r1 . I have installed this on a virtual machine with **2 processor cores**, **4 GB RAM** and **20 GB Storage** which I think is more than sufficient for this specific OS. Earlier I was having this problem where the system would boot into CLI and not GUI hence I googled a bit and followed the instructions from http://techanji.blogspot.in/2013/04/android-wont-boot-into-gui-only-command.html which worked perfectly fine and now I have proper Android boot logo but I kept my system to boot for 15 minutes without any progress which makes me think this has stuck at boot! **A bit about setup:** - I did **not** choose GPT for partioning - I have made one **primary partition** of 20 GB and made it boot partition - I have formatted my partition with **ext4** file system - I **installed GRUB** but **not EFI GRUB** Hopefully, these details are enough and you guys can help me with this. **PS: For those members who are in a hurry to mark a question as duplicate by just reading the question, I would like to kindly bring it to your notice that I have read and tried ALL the solutions to similar questions and none of them has worked so far, hence posting this question**
