Ghasse Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Here's the setup.... I have VMware Fusion (v3.1) running MacOS 10.6 as a guest OS. This seems to have worked and I can boot into my VM without any issues. However, I can't seem to install VMWare tools so the only way to exchange files between Main OS and Guest OS is through USB drives. I know that MacOS is not supported by VMWare as a guest OS due to Apple's licensing restrictions. Was wondering if anyone had managed to get the VMWare tools running on MacOS which is installed as a guest OS? Or is this a limitation that everyone has been living with? Any help would be appreciated...

maflynn Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 did you try manually installing the tools by navigating to /Library/Application Support/VMware Fusions/isoimages/darwin.iso Just doubleclick darwin.iso and then install the tools.
