VMWare: could not open the client device (CD-ROM)

I’m trying to connect my virtual to my local computer’s CD ROM but I keep seeing the error:

Could not open the client device “D:” It is being used by another virtual machine or some other program

Even though I know it’s not in use! Here is a solution

Right-click the VM -> Edit Settings -> CD/DVD Drive 1 -> Emulate IDE

Problem solved.
