realien Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Hi guys, I have a working lion install under vmware 8 using vmware player 4.04. I tried the upgrade to osx 10.7.4 since I need the new xcode for IOS6 dev, but after the upgrade the "boot screen" hangs with the spinner. Is there a way to patch/update so that it will run, or am I better off finding a more recent vmware image ? ( I pay for lion/mountain lion, even if I download an image).

NickThompson Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Did you ever resolve this? I had the same problem, ended up restoring the VM to a backup (thank god I made one!)

MSoK Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Did you ever resolve this? I had the same problem, ended up restoring the VM to a backup (thank god I made one!) Nick / Grant, There were some issues with 10.7.4, that needed patches, but these have been resolved in the recently released versions of Workstation 9, Player 5, Fusion 5 and ESXi 5.1. So the best advise is upgrade to the latest relevant version, and Player 5 and ESXi 5.1 are free. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/282999-vmware-player-404-v8-upgrade-to-1074-failed/#findComment-1856814 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickThompson Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 As MSoK suggests - this works fine with 10.7.5. I have Documented my upgrade process here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/268531-workstation-8-and-fusion-4-mac-os-x-unlocker/page__st__260#entry1857266 I now have 10.7.5 + Player 5 running perfectly.
