Thank you for the guide. Works well. Used Darwin.iso for vmware tools. I am unable to see my sierra timemachine backup drive or any other drive attached to PC in the VM. Did I miss something? thanks for support.

Yes dear, just reinstall VMware tools on your macOS Sierra Virtual machine and this time, it should be working. To Reinstall VMware tools this time, right click on the macOS Sierra VM tab on VMware and select install VMware tools then go ahead to install it.

I run Yosemite on vmware 10.0.4 on Win 8.1. All run fine, i've just one issue with resolution, but just for boot screen and logon screen at 800X600. On the logoff screen there isnt the resolution issue. I've installed vmware tools but I don't remember version. would there be any solution?

Hello mate, highly appreciated your work as this provides a nice solution. I've tried all the darwin.iso files that I could find but all did not seem to work (correctly). I know the tool was installed good and I have got a good display, it is just the resolution was wrong. I am on 10.13

It works fine for me. But we need to install all necessary tools in order to make it works. I also stuck when apply the PreferencePane it show an error. But no worry just -system-integrity-proctection-in-macos/ and it good to go. Don't forget to press windows key + R during reboot the mac os for windows user. Anyway thanks for solution.

In this step, we will install VMware Tools on macOS Catalina installed as a guest operating system on VMware Workstation Player. Click Player -> Manage -> Install VMware Tools as highlighted in Fig 2.

I have upgraded my VMWare Fusion to 10.1, and created a new VM with a fresh install of OS X 10.13, and I did receive the message re: Extensions you are posting about after installing VMWare tools. However the alert was generated by the guest OS inside VMWare Fusion and not the Host OS. I went into System Preferences / Security on the guest OS and the extension was listed to allow.

I can see how old this post is, but I noticed something relevant; it wasn't even Ubuntu. Apparently "Shared folders" must be enabled prior to installing open-vm-tools - also had open-vm-tools-desktop already installed and nothing worked. Reinstalling both packages does the job, seemingly when shared folder were enabled; this works instantly. With apt-get:

VMware Workstation is one of the popular hypervisor and virtualization tools to install and run several operating systems on a physical computer. Thus, you can run Linux, Red Hat, macOS, etc., on a Windows PC without owning the necessary hardware devices for these operating systems.

To resolve this, VMware, Inc. developed and published the VMware Tools for macOS for free. Read on to learn more about macOS VMware Tools, how to download the package, how to install the tools, and other secret tips for VMware Tools on macOS.

Do expect some lag when running these desktop virtualization tools, especially when loading applications and when rendering high-resolution images and videos. But once an app is loaded, it tends to run smoothly.

You can see the contents of this folder where vmware-tools-daemon is located.Click the System Settings icon in the Dock > Privacy & Security > Accessibility.

Click the + button in the Accessibility section of the System Settings window.Browse and select the vmware-tools-daemon file, access to which must be allowed. The path to this file is:/Library/Application Support/VMware Tools/vmware-tools-daemon

Close the System Settings window and restart the macOS VM.

Once the VM has been restarted, open the VMware Tools installer once again. Pass all steps of the installation wizard (there should be no warnings now). When the VMware Tools installation is completed, the appropriate message is displayed. The installation was successful. Now restart macOS.

To check the version of VMware Tools installed in macOS, run this command in the macOS terminal:/Library/Application\ Support/VMware\ Tools/vmware-tools-cli -vAnother place where you can check whether VMware Tools are installed on a VM is VMware vSphere Client and VMware Host Client. You can select the macOS VM and expand sections with the needed information.

Right-click the VMware Tools CD icon in the top right corner of your mac desktop and eject the media. Eject the darwin.iso image file from the virtual CD/DVD drive of the macOS VM in VM settings (on ESXi).Click the Apple icon in the top left corner of the VM screen and click About this mac in the menu. After installing VMware Tools, the video memory was increased from 3 MB to 128 MB (you can compare this with the older screenshot made right after finishing the macOS installation on the VM).

The workflow to install macOS on VMware Workstation is similar to this workflow for ESXi. The main difference is the installation of the appropriate version of the unlocker patch.

Installing macOS on VMware ESXi virtual machines requires some additional actions and configuration compared to installing Windows and Linux. It is highly recommended that you install VMware Tools on a macOS VM.

Not sure if this will be helpful or not, but I have been able to change the resolution of my Mac OS X vm's by using the esxi command line 'vim-cmd vmsvc/setsreenres' command. This appears to work for any vm that has vmware-tools installed. I use this command since I often connect to vm's running on esxi via my 11" macbook air and it has a screen resolution of 1366x768. By issuing this command I am able to change the VM's screen resolution. To use the command, log into the host esxi that the vm is running on and issue this command:

If your asking if it will work while running OS X under VMWare Workstation on a Windows 7 Machine? Not using this command, the command is specific to the host running ESXi and I have only run it under ESXi 6. However if you are asking if you can change the screen resolution of a Windows 7 Virtual Machine running under ESXi, then yes as long as VMWare tools are installed and the client has enough memory allocated to it's Video card.

Mark, I was just hunting for the same solution. Just yesterday, I copied the script from my Fusion 8.1 vmware tools folder to one of my ESXi 6 OSX guests. Running that command every time you reboot is obviously not optimal, although... it might have a performance consequence, I don't know. In my particular application, if there is a slight performance hit, it won't matter.

I tried the 10.0.5 vmware tools on OSX 10.11.3 running under ESXi 5.5 and the keyboard stops working using both vmrc and thick-client console, so that's a no-go for me. The earlier tools (9.9.2) do not have this issue.

Hi William,

First, many thanks for your posts.

Then, it worked simply for me (mac mini esxi server with updated vmware tools and a 10.11 WM) by simply adding more total video memory to 128Mo and setting max resolution to 1920 to 1080. No need to modify the vmx file in this case. Using sudo makes the change persistent.

I had the problem, that your solution doesnt work on workstation 12.5.5 and windows 10. I've recreated the vmx file as hw gen 10 version. after that everything works as expected with latest vmware tools. hope this helps.

I recalled that reinstalling vmware-tools and rebooting could fix the kernel extension not starting. Doing so not only allwed vmware-resoluton to running properly but also the corner dragging started working (was not working because vmware-tools was not running).

In this step, you will need to select the destination where you want to install the VMware tools. After selecting the location a small pop up for continued installation will appear. Agree with it and click on Install. be457b7860
