VMWare is the program that runs on the host operating system (MacOS, Windows, Linux) and then runs the "Virtual Machine" that's basically just a file on your computer.

The EPC/WIS VM is just that. A Virtual Machine. All 4 DVD's unpack into a single file that VMWare then reads as a "Virtual Machine".

VMWare Fusion on the Mac uses a different file format than full blown VMWare that's available for all operating systems. As a result, the file you unpack from the DVD's isn't automatically recognized. You have to navigate through the file and manually open the VMWare file and magically VMWare Fusion will "bless" your VM as if it were a native format.

Kinda lame when you think about it objectively, but it is what it is. Once the VM has opened and run, it will show up in your VMWare library.
