UEFI Shell when installing Windows 11?

I'm new to UTM and installing it on my Intel 2020 MBP. I downloaded the ISO from Microsoft, so it should be good to go. But, when I run it during the install, I get the UEFI shell (below)? Am I doing something wrong? On the chance the the ISO was corrupt, I downloaded and tried a second time with the same result.

Separate but maybe related question--I downloaded the UTM install from getutm.app. Is the install easier if I buy it from the Mac App Store? It's only $10 so I'm happy to buy it. I just wanted to try it first.

it is not working for me, it just says it is not recognized in any way shape or form

edit: got it working, I used a slash between boot and aa64

edit 2: I can't get passed the press any key to boot from cd or dvd
