Continue creating your shell by following along…

I am going to leave it at version 12 and manually edit the.

vmx file after the shell has been created.

When choosing the hardware compatibility, you can optionally change this to version 10 so that you do not need to manually edit the.

Launch VMware Workstation and create the shell VM.

It will also download the latest VMware Tools (darwin.iso) for macOS into the extracted directory. This will patch your VMware Workstation to unlock the capabilities to run a Mac OS.

Open a command prompt and navigate to the extracted folder.

Extract the contents on the Unlockler 2.0.9RC.

Make sure that VMware Workstation is installed but not running.

Ready? Here we go! I’ll start by showing you how to create a macOS Sierra VM on VMware Workstation 12.5.2 Pro… VMware Workstation 12.5.2 Pro

Type 1 Hypervisor (ESXi) or a Type 2 Hypervisor (VMware Workstation).

Version 2.0.9 RC adds support for macOS Sierra on ESXi 6.5 and Workstation 12.x.

Current Stable version 2.0.8 works up to OS X Yosemite on ESXi 6.0 and Workstation 11.

This link has a good tutorial for creating said media.

This media will have to be created as the OS comes as a.

iso format (You can use an older OS as well but for this demo, I will be installing macOS Sierra 10.12.3) Please keep in mind that the methods described in this article are not supported nor endorsed by Apple or VMware in any way, so please use at your own risk.īefore we can begin, there are a few tools required to ensure this works flawlessly. Luckily, there is an alternative method for running a Mac-based VM on non-apple hardware-based VMware ESXi and/or VMware Workstation for Windows! In this tutorial, I am going to show you just how to do so. But many of the “Non-Apple” users in the world would not be able to take advantage of this without owning some type of Apple Computer. Running a MacOS/ OS X virtual machine is not anything new and has been supported for quite some time, as long as you are running said VM on a supported hypervisor with Apple Hardware. **NOTE: This is completely for experimental purposes and is unsupported by both Apple and VMware** Create a macOS/OS X VM on VMware ESXi 6.5 & VMware Workstation 12.5.2 Pro
