spamnchips Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I have successfully installed OS X Maverick on my Windows 8 VMware Workstation 10 virtual machine. Just updated Workstation to 10.0.2 which has overridden the Unlocker features. Running Unlocker again has no effect and the virtual Mac no longer loads.

spamnchips Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 Have now got my original Virtual Mac running again. I had to run Unlocker on the new files, reload Darwin.iso (vmtools). However, the updated version of Workstation wipes out the radio button for Apple OS X on the New Virtual Machine Wizard, Guest Operating System tab whemn trying to build a new virtual Mac.

So you have now patched Workstation on Windows? I have done this for 10.0.2 and everything works ok. Did the patcher run without errors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashboie Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I updated my Linux install of VMWare Workstation this morning to v10.0.2. I downloaded and ran Unlocker v130 on it, and it is working fine, except it keeps telling me that my VMWare Tools is out of date. Does anybody know where I can get the newer version of the VMWare tools for for OSX for VMWare Workstation v10.0.2? Edit: found it myself. Latest version of Fusion (6.0.3) includes it http://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop/fusion/6.0.3/1747349/packages/com.vmware.fusion.tools.darwin.zip.tar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwana Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 ok i am in the same boat. I opened a mountain lion image in vmware workstation 10.0.0 after running the unlocker. However, I would like to insttall vmware tools. the above download is a tar file that contains a zip file named com.vmware.fusion.tools.darwin.zip and a file named descriptor.xml. How does one install the tools using the above file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwana Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 @Donk thanks, I thought that's what I should do based on the readings. of course my problem was that I had downloaded the file in windows and could not figure out how to get the image into the virtual mac OS that was running as a guest because shared folders is something that requires vmware tools. a bit of catch 22. so i resorted to using a usb drive. reminds me of the days when i ran a sneaker-net.

Just mount the ISO as CD-ROM image in VMware. No need to copy to guest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
