blizzardo1 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I got the vmware os x 10.4.7 from Demonoid's torrent site, and I have it running, now it said that it was for FreeBSD, so I tried invoking commands and it gave me this message: "VMware Tools 6.5.0 build-118166 for FreeBSD will not install on the operating system you are running. Please be sure you install the version of VMware Tools that is appropriate for your operating system." I need help as fast as possible. Thanks.

Donk Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Very old image and most have moved on to Leopard. The reason the tools are trying to install is that it thinks it is FreeBSD due to the vmx file settings. Of course those tools won't work in Darwin/Mac OS X. If you want to try other release check out the thread I started on installing retail Leopard on VMware, Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/138621-vmware-tools-for-os-x86-not-installing/#findComment-984389 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mengen Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Try this package, but only supports Time sync, and mouse ungrab, and text copy. Installation: cp vmw /usr/bin add "nohub vmw t -u -R60 -q &" to /etc/rc.local by command "echo 'nohup vmw t -u -R60 -q &' >> /etc/rc.local", and please check /etc/rc to make sure it has : /*if [ -f /etc/rc.local ]; then sh /etc/rc.local fi */ if don't have, add it, or put "nohub vmw t -u -R60 -q &" before "exit" vmwd.zip Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/138621-vmware-tools-for-os-x86-not-installing/#findComment-984467 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donk Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Or install them from the Fusion darwin.iso. Not everything works but most of it does.

mengen Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Donk, do you have the source code of Darwin.iso, the binary in which need version 6 of dyn library. That make it not compatible with Tiger, I just need Tiger for my software compiling and testing. Tiger is much lighter than Leopard, to me Tiger is good enough. But Darwin.iso version is better than the code I have. Could you send me a copy of the source code. Thanks.
