Workstation 11/12, Player 7/12, Fusion 7/8 and ESXi 6 Mac OS X Unlocker 2

[Donk]

And we have the first failure of my unofficial pack! Sorry about this. As I said, it wasn't tested, and this proves it. I'll look in to it as soon as I can. The plan so far seems to be that Donk is going to help me learn my way around the project, and after a release is put out that is known to be working, I will take over on my own if Donk thinks I am capable and worthy.

 

I have not forked the project yet, but I will be cloning it soon. It may be a while before I actually make my own fork of it though.

 

I am talking to David-B and his plan is correct. I suggest not forking for now from GitHub until I finish my last release and then we will switch over to his repo.

 

Also there may be some breaking chnages in Git so expect it not to work will I sort some stuff out. I am on vacation and will dump stuff onto git just to ensure it is backed up.

Hello all of you on the forum 

 

Ladies and Gentlemen I address a very cordial asking for support for Vmare 14 Workstation.

 

I have installed Vmware Workstation 14 Pro in Windows 7 Proffesional x64 Bit.

 

When I proceed to configure Vmware, to unlock access to the systems I have a situation like the screenshots posted in this post.

 

From unlocker folder 2.0.8 I run install.cmd and and win-update-tools.  The entire process of booting, loading a file by the CMD console proceeds in a manner normal.

 

When I finish loading from the win-install console I get two backup folders and tools - in main folder unlocker 2.0.8.

 

When running win-update tools, only the tools folder appears in the root folder

 

unlocker 2.0.8.

 

As I can see from the screenshots I still do not have the unlocked option in the menu - installation macOS systems.

 

I kindly ask for your support Ladies and Gentlemen.

 

[Donk]

Unlocker 2.0.8 does nt work with Workstation 14. We are working on a new version that support Workstation 14 and I would expect it to be released sometime next week. There is an unofficial version by David-B if you need to try it now.

[whitewolf1608]

Ok thanks for the support Sir

Please download the link I will test and write whether or not it works.

Can you ask for 3D acelerator support in the new version of Unlocker?

 

Vmware Workstation 12 is supported True to Windows 7, but it can run on systems Mac OS ?

For those of you who want to try out the modifications that hoanglan87 posted here, but want an easy way to do so, I've uploaded an unofficial repack of the VMware Patcher here. As of this posting, the submission is waiting for approval by a moderator, but I'm hoping that it will be available shortly. This repack includes a pyInstaller-built executable for patching VMware on Windows. This has not been thoroughly tested, but I can confirm that this repack is working without any issues for me. (I am running VMware Workstation Pro 14 on Windows 10.)

 

Update: Until a moderator approves the InsanelyMac download link I posted above, here is an off-site download link: https://nofile.io/f/HPYpMCHrQE1/unlocker209-unofficial.zip

 

Update 2: The InsanelyMac download link has been approved.

 

I installed sierra from iso file (from scratch) on wks pro 14 (win10 ent host) with the unoff unlocker successfully (hw version 14.x, vmware tools 10.0.1, selected macos 10.13 from the OS menu of vmware) and upgraded to high sierra. Everything works, but the network does not function in bridge mode, only in NAT mode. I will try to create bootable iso for high sierra. This is just a "FYI" for the audience

Did bridge mode work on Workstation 12?

[svensssson]

 

Did bridge mode work on Workstation 12?

 

With wks 12 and earlier it worked fine for years. Anyway, I created iso file of high sierra and tried to install it from scratch with apfs. After 10.0.1 vmtools install it cannot boot - stuck at the boot logo of apple. I think I will wait for the official unlocker

Hello all of you on the forum

 

I confirm the operation of unlocker 2.0.9 unofficial tool on Vmare

 

Workstation 14.

 

Below the screen is a huge addition to the menu of Apple systems.

 

At the moment I have installed Vmware Workstation 14 on Windows

7 Proffesional x64.

 

I am very kindly asking for information if someone succeeded

 

Install add-on tools that are offered in the lower Vmare bar

 

Workstation?

 

I enclose the question about this question.

 

Clicking on the install tools link shows me the message that is on the screen 3, and then the message that appears on the screen 4.

After vmware wks 14 install, patch vmware with unoff unlocker. Create virtual machine macos 10.12 or 10.13. Kinda like this:

 

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/290949-how-to-install-os-x-10x-snow-leopard-to-el-capitan-in-vmware-workstation-1011-workstation-proplayer-12-player-67-esxi-56/

 

The vmware bar info must be ignored (never remind me). After successful install you have to manually install vmware tools from the VM menu. Since I recognized that the unofficial unlocker installs 8.x vmware tools you have to manually download 10.0.1 one from http://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop/fusion/

 

Stop all vmware services and then you will be able to overwrite the darwin.iso, darwin.iso.sig and tools-darwin.plist files in the directory vmware wks is installed in.

 

Sierra iso is here for example (I hope admin won't "F" me for linking this:

Thanks for the quick reply to my post

 

I found important information about 3D Acceleration.

 

It turns out that the Vmare Fusion available on the macOS platform, as evidenced by

 

The screena is already supported in Vmare Fusion for 3D Acceleration, on scrre

 

The Kali Linux system is shown.

 

Dear Members Forum, everyone here is welcome in the forum and everyone is welcome

 

support.

 

We all aim to launch 3D Acceleration in Vmare Workstation Pro 14.

 

I want to be an active forum user and support others.

 

As I promised, I confirm the correct functioning of the unlocker tool

 

2.0.9. I just finished installing macOS Sierra version 10.12.6 - on

 

Vmare Worsktation 14 Pro, on Windows platform 8.1 Proffesional x64 bit.

 

I am very kindly asking you to insert a link to download the tool

 

This will unlock the full screen mode in Vmare Workstation Pro 14 and the link

 

to a tool that improves the work of the dock bar, the dock belt optimizer mode

 

in macOS Sierra 10.12.6 on Vmare Workstation 14 Pro.

 

I greet all very heartily reading my post

 

I am asking very kindly to insert links to these tools for

 

Improved work in the system sierra 10.12.6 on Vmare Workstation 14 Pro.

 

Best regards, Łukasz Rozalewicz

 

For my part I suggest you take a closer look at Vmare Fusion which is available

 

on the macOS platform. It is worth looking for if we could use Vmare Fusion

 

for Windows platform.

 

Is it possible to run a macOS installation on Vmare Fusion?

 

Today will test Vmare Workstation 14 Pro on Windows 8.

 

Under the seventh and tenth unofficial unlocker tool 2.0.9 works correctly.

 

This Link here > https://www.kali.org/news/vmware-fusion-kali-usb-boot/

 

Can you make a Vmware Fusion instance so that you can use it under

 

Windows Vmare Fusion?

[trungpt]

I'm still with Vmware Workstation v12 until we have good news. Thank you.

[kyitzhak4]

I just was trying the unofficial patch on Linux (OpenSuSE 42.3 - fresh install) with VMplayer 14.

 

The VMWARE install does not have /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libvmwarebase.so.0 - it has /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libvmwarebase.so.

 

I played with the python code and added a vmware leadin of VMware player 14 to get around it - but no success.

 

 

[David-B]

Ah! So many problems! If I take over this project from Donk, I am going to have to come up with a better way of handling issue reports because there is just too much going on here.

[whitewolf1608]

Thanks for all your post dear User's

 

Or maybe use tools such as is available on Linux - it is called

 

Wine or PlayOnLinux, both tools will unlock the option to launch the application

 

exe on linux.

 

For MacOS, there is also a tool that launches exe applications, too

 

This is a tool called Wine. I'm not sure if it's not at all

 

Similar to PlayOnLinux available for macOS, it is possible

 

with another name.

 

Dear Users, let's find a tool that will unlock our ability

 

run applications from under macOS on windows platform and more specifically

 

on the Virtual Machine Vmare Workstation.

 

It can even be on 12 Vmare Workstation version, the purpose is to run the application

 

Vmare Fusion available for macOS.

 

I still try to download on my macos Sierra download Vmare Fusion

 

and install. As soon as I know something, I will insert screenshots and describe in detail

 

whole installation process.

 

I think Vmare Fusion should download and install on Vmare Workstation 14

 

I have macOS Sierra 10.12.6 installed.

[whitewolf1608]

Hi, I have found instructions for running 3D acceleration for Vmware Workstation. This is a Windows manual.

Please tell me how to start the 16: 9 mode without having to turn on the mode

 

full screen?

 

How do I configure the Dock bar for smoother operation?

 

How do I add more memory for a monitor, for the 3 MB graphics option?

 

On behalf of all the Users, I ask for a very kindly request for support,

 

Please build a tool that will answer all these questions.

 

However, in 4: 3 mode the work is uncomfortable, continuous switching from full screen

 

Normal mode will cause discomfort in working on a Virtual Machine.

 

Dear Developer, on behalf of all the Users, I turn to you very much

 

A cordial request to build appropriate tools.

 

Please also ask other Members about forum activity as far as possible of course.

 

I can support the forum on my part.

 

I want to share very valuable information that relates to memory

 

Ram is either a desktop computer or a laptop computer.

 

I know it's a Vmare department, but I think that the moderator will not hurt my head.

 

I learned in Windows that starting with Windows Vista a

 

By the end of the Windows operating system alone Windows

 

Adjusts the RAM clock frequency to the clock frequency

 

processor. Only systems under Windows Vista did not have this option.

 

I think this information is very valuable and worth writing about.

 

Therefore, in the Bios itself, we see the clocking of Ram 2133 Mhz

 

For example: Windows Vista, or Windows 7 shows us the clocking value

 

By half, it means that Windows starts itself in addition

 

Power saving mode and not at all

If we have unlocked bios it should be on the menu

 

The option that is responsible for the settings that talk about managing this function, ie

 

Memory Ram is dependent on processor clocking.

 

This function should be called, I do not say literally, because

 

Each BIOS will have it signed differently in its menu.

 

How to check if 2 GB of memory is running

 

For 2 GB graphics card is allocated, please support.

Please just wait a little longer I have worked out most of the issues with Workstation 14, and have checked a lot of code into Git. However I am actually on my anunual vacation with friends and need time to test when I get home.

I am really sorry but I don't understand what you are asking here. Is it 3D acceleration for macOS in Workstation? If that is what yuo want only Apple and VMware can make the drivers for it.

I have allocated 2 GB of RAM for my graphics card, where the tab in the performance monitor can check the memory usage of the graphics card?

Unlocker 2.0.8 does nt work with Workstation 14. We are working on a new version that support Workstation 14 and I would expect it to be released sometime next week. There is an unofficial version by David-B if you need to try it now.

 

Dear Donk, I am very grateful to you for the addition,

 

to the official version of the unlocker tool 2.0.9 which is under construction:

 

- Added support for format change from 4: 3 to 16: 9 without the need to start the mode

 

full screen,

 

- Added support for 3D acceleration, or create a separate patch which

 

will launch such support - since Vmare Fusion has this option I deeply believe

 

That Vmare Workstation 14 Pro will also get this support.

 

- Add a tool to optimize the Dock,

 

- Added ability to add memory for Monitor Graphics, by default

 

3 mb.

 

Dear Project Supervisor, please take note of all the above

 

These requests, in order to improve work on Vmare Workstation 14 Pro.

 

Yours sincerely Łukasz Rozalewicz

On the first pic you can see that 3D accel is not supported therefore it is irrelevant how many amount of graphics memory you define it will have no influence on the virtual machine. Deal with it.

Sierra 10.12.6 does not support 3D acceleration.

 

And which other system from Apple supports 3D acceleration in Vmare Workstation?

[Donk]

None. Please stop asking the same question as the answer is the same. We cannot enable 3D acceleration for Apple Mac OS X/macOS in VMware Fusion/ Workstation/Player.
