What behaviour are you seeing? If you open VMWare Fusion and hit COMMAND+N for a new image, select the “install from disk or image” button then choose the continue button. You are then presented with a dialog box where you can browse to the appropriate file e.g. your Windows installation media in .ISO format. After selecting the appropriate file and choosing the continue button, you should right away get a prompt asking if you want to use the easy install method, along with an explanation of what that does. By leaving the “use easy install” checkbox checked and selecting the continue button, you should be asked for all info such as your username up front in an accessible wizard.

The installation using VMWare's "easy install" method can be done without sighted help. VMWare asks all the relevant questions up front, then automates the Windows setup. In Windows 8.1, you don't have a startup sound by default. However, about 15 to 20 minutes after you begin the install you can turn on Narrator by pressing COMMAND+ENTER. By default the COMMAND KEY acts as a Windows key, so you are pressing WINDOWS+ENTER.
