cubez Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 press Apple+V after powering on your vm. I'm not sure which key gets recognized as the apple key, try ctrl, win-key or alt. It's the win-key for me. Â edit: googling stuff like this is greatly appreciated!

guit5412 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Oh sorry, but Lion doesn't even boot, I see a black screen with "VMware" and then I've got the message...

guit5412 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 It's kinda hard, because I'm French, but I've read the thread entirely... And I've got the same message as Kurt Hectic, the 64-bit thing... I'm really sorry for these questions, but I'd really love to have Lion on my PC... Thanks a lot !

cubez Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 sorry for being harsh, i'm kinda stressed out, exams and stuff. Â try this: Â Try changing the value of "guestOS" from "darwin64" to "darwin" or "darwin10-64" to "darwin10" Â edit: in your vm's .vmx file Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/256745-run-mac-os-in-vmware-workstation-without-hardware-virtualization/page/2/#findComment-1788818 Share on other sites More sharing options...
guit5412 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Ok, so I've tried this, and VMware with a grey background began to charge. Then, instead of the Apple logo, there is a crossed round : Â Â Â Hope you will have an answer...

cubez Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Now boot in verbose mode to get error messages! Â You'll most likely be able to solve your problem by googling the error message. your problem is quite common and not that hard to solve afaik. I can't really help you from here as i'd need to google anything i tell you myself and I'm not having spare time for that right now, sorry!

guit5412 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I understand, thanks so much ! Â EDIT : sorry, just a last question. Could you recommand me a version of Mac Osx Lion 10.7.2 which works surely with your soft ? I can't find the solution for my problem... Â Thanks a lot and I'm sorry...again...

cubez Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 Never ran Lion in VMware as I managed to install it natively. Can't help you with that, sorry.

Will Caine Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Hey CubeZ I really appreciate your work, and im sure you have lots on your mind but changing the value of guest OS from "darwin10-64" to "darwin10" etc... does mean that the patch will work, however it stops the os from installing. Please could you try fixing the problem on win 7 64-bits. Really would be greatful! Â EDIT: just thought i would mention I'm having the exact same problem as guit5412. Also, there is no error message in verboose mode.

cubez Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 Sorry guys, doesn't seem to be possible. Ignoring the absence of long mode is exactly what clicking the yes button does.

Will Caine Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 just a quick question... do you actually have any idea of what the problem is with win 7 64-bit or are you just looking for work arounds. dont mean to seem rude or anything just want to ask. If there is anything i can do to help, testing etc... please do ask.

cubez Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 i have no idea of virtualization itself, I just reenable what VMware disables for reasons we don't know! also the problem is not win7 but rather vmware itself, because i don't see why software virtualizing a 64bit guest on a 64bit host shouldnt be possible!

cubez Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 Nope, i got them all i don't think i'm gonna make it work, vmware just doesn't support it imho.

Will Caine Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 what would you suggest someone on win7 64-bit does then, if they would like to have mac os x in vmware? can it be done at all? with a 32-bit version/older version??

cubez Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 running lion in 32bit mode is just a configuration thing. it works.

Will Caine Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 but when i change the guest os to 32 bit i get that error like guit5412 did. it makes no sense?
