ISO path in vmtools has changed
meir555 opened this issue · 13 comments
The ISO for the current version is in:
payload/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/isoimages/x86_x64/darwin.iso
and not in:
payload/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/isoimages/darwin.iso
The gettools.py
file needs to be updated in lines 148-149, 153-154
Or, even better, check if there is a file in the current path, and if not check the /x86_x64/
subfolder.
Another suggestion, in the win-install.cmd
, copy the iso files to C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation\
after gettools.py
is done.

The win-install.cmd
already copy by using the %InstalPath%
information. If you are also using others versions then you must do the copy yourself.

Thanks, so maybe change the default to overwrite darwin.iso if exist?

But it already overwrite the exist one if you download the tools again. See the README
file to see the different about win-install.cmd
, win-uninstall.cmd
and win-update-tools.cmd
.
hi,
dont get that thread... i dont have that path
payload/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/isoimages/x86_x64/darwin.iso
only without x86_x64
also there are no mentioned files > win-install.cmd, win-uninstall.cmd and win-update-tools.cmd.

Hi. This is the new path where the darwin.iso
and darwinPre15.iso
reside inside the zip file.
only without x86_x64
Perhaps you are using the same zip file downloaded early. If you install the new release https://github.com/BDisp/unlocker/releases/tag/3.0.5 you will see the path was changed in the zip file.
also there are no mentioned files > win-install.cmd, win-uninstall.cmd and win-update-tools.cmd.
See the README where are all explained.

Get the latest release here.
also there is darwin15.iso ...no clue whats that one.
thanks
It's darwinPre15.iso
. Is for MAC OS X prior versions. See the explanation here:
VMware Tools installer from darwinPre15.iso does not proceed with installation on MAC OS X guest operating systems versions 10.11 or later.
You welcome.
@BDisp hello,
maybe i am confusing something... i installed -> https://github.com/paolo-projects/auto-unlocker/
i extracted darwin.iso from http://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop/fusion/12.2.4/20071091/x86/core/com.vmware.fusion.zip.tar
but maybe http://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop/fusion/12.2.5/20904517/x86/core/ here is the latest?
Still inside macos display settings are not working properly... see screenshots from osx native; osx in vmware (second photo)
https://imgur.com/a/VTlPY7N
ie there is no possibility to increase text size...;/
thanks!
but maybe http://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop/fusion/12.2.5/20904517/x86/core/ here is the latest?
No, the latest is http://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop/fusion/13.0.0/20802013/arm64/core/com.vmware.fusion.zip.tar

There is no way to have a really osx on a virtual machine, of course.
i assume you meant http://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop/fusion/13.0.0/20802013/x86/core/
hm so this is common bug/issue? in that case its not usable ... as OS
okay installed latest 13x tools , still same issue with the display... unknow - font is small...
bit confused whats the purpose to run such broken macos in vmware...
Did you already added smc.version = "0"
to the VMX file? The issue you are dealing has not to do with the unlocker
repo, which download the darwin tools and unlock the macOS dropdown list to allow create a OS X virtual machine. You have to google search about your issue.
@BDisp sure, that was added. i understand your concern.
i thought that people here also have some experience of running macos using that unlocker...
No problem. If somebody that had the same problem probably could help you.
