So is this working with vmware 15.5 and windows 10 version 1909? I want to create a new install myself with a mac image. And second question: can i use the same unlocker for older versions of mac osx like Tiger (intel?)
How to Download macOS Unlocker Install on VMware Workstation
Download: https://tlniurl.com/2vzWIv
Now that the .iso is in the datastore, it's time to prep the host to be able to run macOS in a VM. There is an unlocker written in python that modifies the vmware-vmx file to allow macOS to boot. Without this unlocker, it simply doesn't work and just does a boot loop. It'll show the Apple Logo loading screen and then ultimately displays an error.
After running the permissions command, we can navigate inside the folder again using "cd esxi-unlocker-301" Once we've run the install "./esxi-install.sh", we'll need to now reboot the server for the configuration changes to take effect. In the same command window, you can simply type reboot then hit Enter.
Hi, I install Big Sur on my PC, after installation it work fine, install an update 11.2 and still work fine, but 11.3 is not working it it crash back to the login screen also the 11.3 beta 2 and same thing. is there a fix? using vmware workstation 16.0. thanks
Using the ZIP is easiest since it can be downloaded right from Git. However, the directions say to upload the file to the datastore, unzip, and run the install script. But that produces the error about unlocker.tgz not existing.
If you want to download the VMware unlocker for macOS, so we have provided a link. And you can easily download the software from there. Once you download the software, then you will need to add this to the VMware. And how to do that? Check that out in the coming paragraphs.
macOS unlocker tool for VMware workstation is a quite light and small tool. But it mandatory for the creation of a macOS virtual machine on VMware. As long as the installation of the tool is concerned. Though it is quite straightforward, we have explained the procedure so that you should not get confused.
Once the downloading process has begun, you should be able to see the progress of the download in the Launchpad. Downloading the installation package of macOS Sierra may be a time-consuming process (the slow downloading of macOS Sierra is a common issue). Sometimes, temporary changing the DNS settings in your network configuration may help you to increase the download speed. Attempt using 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4, 4.2.2.2 or 4.2.2.3 DNS servers on your machine. If this method does not increase the download speed, left click the Downloading icon to pause your download. Then left click the icon once more to resume the download. After resuming the download of a file, the download speed increases for the appropriate period of time.
Now that your bootable ISO image with the macOS installer is ready, you should prepare your ESXi host for the installation of macOS as a guest OS on VMs. You need to enable SSH access, download the patch, copy the patch to the file system of the ESXi server, and patch the ESXi server.
The patch is free and can be downloaded from this page. MacOS Unlocker 2.0.8 is used in this example due to ESXi support. The newest version of macOS unlocker is version 3.0.2. Unlocker 2 supports both VMware ESXi and VMware Workstation, while Unlocker 3 only supports VMware Workstation (including the latest versions of VMware Workstation). Version 2.0.8 is the latest version of the patch with ESXi support.
After downloading the patch, copy the patch files to the datastore on ESXi. You can use WinSCP, which supports the transfer of files over SSH by using SFTP, SCP, WebDAV, or S3 protocols (in Linux you can use the equivalent software). WinSCP has a user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI), and consists of two main panels. Copy the unlocker files from your local directory to your datastore on the ESXi server. In this example the unlocker patch and the macOS Sierra installation ISO image (Sierra.iso) were created beforehand, and are placed in C:\Virtual\images_MacOS for convenience. The patch is copied to /vmfs/volumes/datastore1 on the ESXi server. Sierra.iso would be copied to the datastore40. Later, you can mount the ISO image from the datastore to the virtual DVD drive of the virtual machine.
This section explains how to correctly create a macOS Mojave bootable ISO image. First, download the macOS Mojave installer from the App Store. In the current example, a machine running macOS Mojave is used for downloading the macOS Mojave installer to avoid using third party downloading tools. Open AppStore, find macOS Mojave, click View and then click Get to download the installer. Notice that you need a full installer whose size is about 6.03 GB. If after downloading the installer, installation starts automatically, cancel it. After successfully downloading you can see the Install macOS Mojave.app file in the Applications directory. Open Finder and click Applications in the left pane of the Finder window to check the installer file.
MacOS can be installed on a VMware VM running on ESXi. This can be done after the preparation of a bootable installation image of the ISO format with hdiutil, applying a free patch on an ESXi server and configuring certain VM settings. It is not recommended to install the macOS unlocker patch on ESXi servers that are used in production environments, in order to minimize the probability of any possible issues or negative impacts on production VMs. In this blog post, we have covered the installation of macOS Sierra due to its high popularity among users; however, you can also use the explained logics for installing macOS High Sierra and macOS Mojave on VMware VMs running on ESXi.
To begin with, you should download some files, and you may also download & install some applications, which are required later on in this guide. But if you have done any of the followings already, then you may skip it. Here is the list:
You should have downloaded macOS Unlocker V3 for VMware from GitHub or the direct link. Extract the macOS Unlocker V3.0. Right-click on win-install.cmd and select Run as Administrator.
THANK YOU !!!! (Shouting loudley) Followed tutorial to the letter. Many years I have been trying to successfully install macosx in vmware. First time ever it went totally straight forward. Vmware 16.1 Asus B365 Prime Plus i5 9400F Vulcan DDR4 3000mhz 8GB
I have succeeded in installing Big Sur in a vm using vmware workstation 16, but every time it starts it take 80% of my PC CPU, is unusable. I have tried the suggestion to change model from macbook pro to macbook air but the result is the same.Any ideas
The reason may be that installing a macOS virtual machine on VirtualBox needs a file named "VirtualBox Boot.vmdk". I see this process in many videos but unfortunately many posts don't mention this step. In addition, if you want to get this file, you must download it from some posts that are some private websites full of ads. I don't like that, so I choose to try VMware.
Both VMware Workstations Pro and VMware Workstation Player (the free version) are OK. You just need to install one of them. The installation process is very simple. You just need to download this software from its official website and install it normally. If you have VMware installed already, you can skip this step.
Then, you need to download the unlocker file that is the key file making VMware allow you to install macOS virtual machine. The unlocker file is released on GitHub, an open-source project hosting platform. On this platform, the developer will publish the source code of the unlocker file. Therefore, in my mind, the unlocker file is reliable. Please follow the steps below:
Step 3: Extract the unlocker.zip file. Open the extracted folder to find win-install.cmd file. Right click this file and choose Run as administrator. Then, this file will run to get some tools for VMware. All you need do is to wait for the window to shut down automatically.
vmware workstation 14 pro Host OS Version: Windows 10, 64-bit Guest OS: macOS Mojave 10.14.4 Memory: 8GB After Installation ist the resolution from Monitor only 1024768 So I have all installed and after installing VMWare Tools, I got on the desktop with a full resolution (1920 x 1080). But it did not last long and the resolution is going back automatically to the other option : 1024y768 I restarted but no change.

In addition, When want to install macOS Catalina, macOS Mojave, macOS High serria and other mac operating system on VMware workstation pro or player or VirtualBox. during the installation you will be asked about the version of the operating system. Hereby, the VMware macOS unblocker is needed for the installation of macOS Mojave or macOS Catalina on Workstation pro or player because the VMware workstation player do not have macos options to select. 2ff7e9595c
