I tried vmware fusion last night and it failed. I get the error "Unable to create the installation medium." Does parallels or virtualbox work?

I'm running VmWare Fusion with no issues.

Is your icons in the VM window showing? Mine doesnt:

I guess you were trying to install El Capitan in a VM. There's an unofficial fix for that in the VMware communities: https://communities.vmware.com/thread/512914

Btw. as mentioned by other posters, my toolbar icons also show up blank, but you can tweak the settings to also show text which helps.
