ATrom Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Hi All, I'm new to this but with all the great info floating around the web I've been able to install OS X 10.6.4 in a vmware vm. Everything is working great for my purposes (development), except that 64-bit apps won't run. When I try, I get "Bad CPU type in executable.", which makes me think that the cpu type is wrong somehow. The hosts cpu is an amd phenom II, and System Info in the guest is reporting a Intel Core 2 Duo, so both of those should be fine. But maybe I need a different kernel ? The one I'm running seems to have come with the bootloader I'm using "darwin_snow_legacy.iso". This is vmware workstation 7.1.2 running on win7. Any help greatly appreciated !

rukiri Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Is your machine natively 64-bit? Or are you running VMWare in 32bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATrom Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 Is your machine natively 64-bit? Or are you running VMWare in 32bit? Thanks for your response. By "machine" do you mean host or guest ? The host is Win7 Pro 64. The guest OSX kernel seems to be running in 32-bit mode, but that shouldn't prevent 64bit apps from running (at least it doesn't on my macbook). This same instance of vmware workstation is hosting win7 64 guests and ubuntu 64 guests, so I don't think I'm running "vmware in 32bit", but frankly this stuff is all pretty confusing to me.
