Donk Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Bad news! VMware have removed the mechanisms used in the patcher to override the SMC and OS X Server checks in new Tech Preview of Workstation 11 and Fusion 7. May have to go back to adding FakeSMC to installation images. Will keep looking but in the meantime do not use the Tech Previews if you want to have OS X guest compatibility.

trentfox Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Fusion 7 came out today, and the current patch does not work (v130). I hope something can be done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donk Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 I have no plans at present to support newer versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsme2 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Also not when the final version of Workstation 11, which is currently in beta, will be released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donk Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 Nope - I am moving on from this work as have been doing it for 7 years and I need a break from it to pursue some other ideas I have. The current patch method does not work on Fusion 7, Workstation 11 and ESXi 6. For hosted versions there may be a way to make it work, but all my attempts for ESXi 6 have failed. This is no longer just patching data tables but also code which I have done in the past but means potentially a new patch for every release of VMware including patch releases.
