Aug 28, 2015 - VMWare fusion no longer runs on Yosemite (Mac OS X), but VirtualBox does. Export the VM using VMWare's OVF command line tool. We are happy to announce that OVF Tool 2.0.1 was released yesterday. It can be downloaded from here, and is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X (new!). This is the first major release since the initial release of OVF Tool 1.0 and a minor upgrade to the OVF Tool 2.0 version that is bundled with Fusion 3.1 and Workstation 7.1. Advertisements iHackintosh guide to install OS X Mountain Lion 10.8 in a virtual machine with VMware, Windows 7 host. After spending hundred’s of man hour poking around the “Hackintosh” community and overcome a few quirks along the way, I have successfully installed Mac OS X Lion 10.8 on my Windows 7 Ultimate, VMware 8 workstation. Following are the instructions to install OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion in a virtual machine with VMware. Although, the process of making your own Hackintosh from scratch has become easier, there are still many things you need to pay attention, especially for a beginner. I recommend you to go through the whole article twice or thrice. ————————————————————————————————————————————————— Note: If you like our work, encourage us by sharing this post on Twitter, Facebook, Google + as much as you can. ![]() ————————————————————————————————————————————————— ————————————————————————————————————————————————— Note: Note: Note: We need a bootable Mountain Lion.vmdk to install OS X with VMware. If you don’t know how to create bootable.vmdk, follow our previous Requirements: • Core 2 Duo Processors ( i5, i7 processors are more preferable). • Minimum 4 GB RAM. • Minimum 40 GB Hard-drive space. • A retail copy of Mac OS X Mountain Lion operating system. • Mountain Lion bootable.vmdk () Downloads: •. @Mark Randal I, too, experienced that problem. My suspicion is that you (like I) have an IDE CD/DVD “drive” in VMWare (based on the hardware of you HOST OS [mine is a Dell790]) Anyway, the SOLUTION is: 1) Follow the procedures to create a BOOTABLE.ISO file (that lives on your PC [the HOST OS]). 2) Edit your Virtual Machine settings, to point your CD/DVD to that.ISO 3) EXIT from VMWare. 4) Modify the.vmx of the Virtual Machine you’re creating, and change ALL “ide0:0” to “scsi0:1” (you might want to make a backup of the.vmx so you can restore it after you’ve created your working Guest OS) 5) Start your Virtual Machine, and Voila It boots AND INSTALLS! As I understand it, the MAC Installer is looking for SCSI devices ONLY – and the IDE CD/DVD drive is, basically, IGNORED by the installer. By creating a bootable.ISO, and faking VMWare into constructing a “pseudo-SCSI CD/DVD” device (albeit pointing to the.ISO), the Installer is now happily seeing the “CD” as a SCSI device, and all is well with the world! I keep getting the same error messages in step 5 and The virtual machine never starts. First I get a window stating: “Software virtualization is incompatible with long mode on this platform. Disabling long mode. Without long mode support, the virtual machine will not be able to run 64 bit code” After accepting the first window I get a second message: “Mac OS X is not supported with software virtualization. To run Mac OS X you need a host on which VMware Workstation supports hardware virtualization” I’m new with virtual machines and Mac’s, my platfor is Windows 7 on intel (T5550). Will really appreciate any help to get this working. PD: I have already applied the VMWare unlocker and it seems to run Ok. Followed instructions with no luck. Here is what I did instead. Made an ISO of the 10.6 install disk, and installed that in VMWare. Best calendar for mac and android. (10.6 doesn’t require any special processing, just boot and install). Then I updated that to 10.6.8 via the built-in software update. Then I copied over (downloaded) the normal OS X 10.8 installer (from the App Store). Ran that, let it install. After the install the OS will take a LONG time to boot. 30 min – 1 hr. Once it booted I used KextBeast to install the FakeSMC.Kext. Now the OS boots much faster, although there seems to be like a 10 minute delay after rebooting before mouse and keyboard will work in the virtual machine. Suspending and un-suspending do not have this problem. So far this seems to be the most solid way I have found to install the OS and get it to the point that it is usable. Hello, I followed all instructions and everything worked as you said. Microsoft word for mac support. However, I copied the FakeSMC.Kext into the system/library/extensions directly like you mentioned in the 1st post, but when i reboot to load Mountain Lion, I get the apple screen with the spinning wheel for a couple of hours with no completion of the installation. I don’t know if it is hung or stuck, but it want boot into Mountain Lion to complete the install. I powered down the VM and started up again with the same results.
