VMWARE MAC OS X FOR WINDOWS 10 INSTALL
Location: (select a relevant location, I install mine to a partition other than my system partition (C:\), as your guestOS(s) VMDK file's can get very large) Next > Virtual machine name: (give the virtual machine a relevant name, i.e. The virtual machine will be created with a blank hard disk." (if you do not have the other two options immediately to hand or just want to progress quickly)
"I will install the operating system later.
VMWARE MAC OS X FOR WINDOWS 10 ISO
Select Installer disc image file (iso): (if you have created an ISO image, recommend using ImgBurn, a DMG will NOT work in the latest versions of Workstation or Player) Select Installer disc: (if you have the DVD in your drive) or Next > Install from: (if you have the DVD in your drive) This will bring up the "New Virtual Machine Wizard" window "Welcome to the New Virtual Machine Wizard" With Albert's "Unlocker" installed correctly you should have the option to Select Apple Mac OS X as a Guest operating system.Ĭlick on the "New Virtual Machine" icon under the Home tab, or File > New > "Virtual Machine.
(Thanks to TheGreatDeceiver)īuy a retail DVD of OS X Snow Leopard, 10.6.3 is what is currently shipping, only £26, €28, $29 from Apple. Albert's "Unlocker" also removes the need to use OS X Server media for Workstation, Player and Fusion.
VMWARE MAC OS X FOR WINDOWS 10 CODE
Albert's "Unlocker" enables this same functionality for Workstation and Player as they all share a common code base. The darwin.iso, either Donk's 310 (which also contains some of Zenith432's drivers) or the latest Fusion Version 3.1.3, can be mounted in OS X and used to install the VMware Tools for OS X (Darwin), in fact this is the only method to install the VMware Tools.įusion is the equivalent of Workstation for Windows and Linux but on a Mac running OS X, and has built in support for OS X Server as a guest. Although not discussed here as Albert's "Unlocker" method is the preferred solution for VMware Workstation and Player, as recommended by Donk, Donk's darwin.iso (currently at version 310) is required for his method, and is the only option for getting OS X to run as a guest in a VMware vSphere Hypervisor 4.1 and 4.1u1 (ESXi) environment. Some confusion exists as to the role of the darwin.iso file, firstly NEVER boot directly from the darwin.iso and for Albert's "Unlocker" method the darwin.iso is NOT required at all. (Thanks to sofakng and Infected24)Įven manually stopping all the VMware related services and killing the "hqtray.exe *32" process sometimes will still give install errors with Albert's "Unlocker", in these rare circumstances it may be worth starting your Windows in Safe Mode via F8 during boot, then running the "Unlocker". If you have upgraded from a previous version, you will have in effect done a new installation, so you will need to re-run Albert's "Unlocker". If you get other errors, then it is worth manually stopping all VMware related services as well as killing the "hqtray.exe *32" process. Please note VMware Player does not have the files "vmware-vmx-debug.exe" and "vmware-vmx-stats.exe", so in the install script they will show as Missing files, this is OK and does not stop the "Unlocker" script from completing.
This should ensures a smooth install and provides support for VMware Player as well as Workstation. However it has been noted that if the "hqtray.exe" process is running the installation will fail with a vmwarebase.dll error, so you will need to start Task Manager, select the Processes Tab, and End Process "hqtray.exe *32" before installing Albert's "Unlocker" ideally using Donk's updated "windows.cmd" script.
VMWARE MAC OS X FOR WINDOWS 10 UPGRADE
Please note version upgrades uninstall the previous version as part of the upgrade processs.Įnsure Workstation or Player is shutdown before running the "Unlocker" script, normally the "Unlocker" script will run fine, especially if you use Donk's undated script. Then install the latest version VMware Workstation currently 7.1.4 or VMware Player currently 3.1.4, a restart will be required to complete the installation. So following the simple steps below and you should in most cases be able to have a guaranteed OS X "Snow Leopard" guestOS installation:įirstly ensure you have an Intel Processor that support VT-x and that it is enabled in BIOS. (Thanks to xarmy9 and especially Donk for his new ESXi 5 Unlocker) I have created a similar topic for OS X 10.6 "Snow" and OS X 10.7 "Lion" for VMware ESXi 5 now it has been released, see link at the bottom of this topic. I have been asked if I can do a similar topic for OS X 10.7 "Lion" which I will once Workstation 8 / 2011 and Player 4 / 2011 are released, i.e. I have created this topic as a consolidated view for installing OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" under VMware Workstation 7 and VMware Player 3, it is based on the topics of Donk, Zenith432 and Albert.
