Bios In Vmware Workstation
I need some advice to repair my VMware situation. Late in 2018 I started playing around with the Mac OS, mainly just to see what it is like. I've got 1/2 dozen VMs on my laptop - Xp, 7, 10, Linux and Mac OS. Now I admit that back in 2018 I didn't read much about the unlocker tool. I was following a bulleted list, and it just worked. Fast forward to a month ago, and I made the mistake of upgrading my licensed VMware Workstation 14.5 to 14.6.
Please VOTE for VincentTechBlog to Win Tech & Gadgets Awards 2017: Hello guys, this video tutoria. Entering BIOS setup in VMware Workstation 12. If you need to enter to BIOS setting in the VM computer (Guest OS), it will be difficult if using F2 key as show in the screen when computer starting (Press F2 to enter SETUP.) because it appear in very short time.
This promptly nuked my Mac OS VM; all of the others boot normally. The Mac just cycles through boot attempts.In a brilliant brain cramp, I figured that I just needed to go get the latest unlocker. So I did, ran it, still no joy. Following a recovery document, I configured my machine to boot a recovery ISO. At this point, I'm figuring that something got hosed in the Mac OS image.
This won't even boot. Okay, obviously something is wrong with VMWare.
At this point, I've made so many changes I've made a mess. So, I finally read the readme.txt (yes, poking fun at myself) and come across: 'Always uninstall the previous version of the Unlocker before using a new version. Failure to do this could render VMware unusable. ' Well bless my soul, I'll bet my Mac OS is fine, and I just f'd up VMware. I'm almost certain of it.So, any suggested recovery options? It seems to me that I've got a mismash of the VMWare installation, and I need to:.Uninstall unlocker.Uninstall VMWare Workstation.Re-install VMWare Workstation.Using the latest unlocker, install the Mac OS support.Anybody with experience in this conundrum, I'm all ears.Note to future readers - don't upgrade VMWare Workstation if it isn't broke. Well, I'll respond to my own post - it's back.

Recommendations if you plan to upgrade VMWare:.Uninstall unlocker - whatever you installed.Allow VMWare to update.Re-install latest unlocker.The doc is correct, if you don't uninstall unlocker, VMWare is going to be left in a hosed condition. Interestingly, I received some gripes about some kernel add-ins being blocked.One last thought - don't ask for help on VMWare. Whooo boy did I get shredded. Since I have a mini-mac on my desktop, I thought I was reasonably righteous in terms of the VM. Anybody success with unlocker on VMware Workstation 15.1? Previous versions worked flawlessly, but with this version it seems not to unlock vmware (tried to boot old vms and also to install new vms - not even the install options for macos show up, which worked before)Did you shutdown the VMs before updating VMware Workstation and running Unlocker?I got issues with this if all VMs are not fully shut-down.
Maybe you could be running into same issue?EDIT: For the record, I am not using 15.1 yet, only the older one(s) (I have VMware Workstation on several PCs here). Edited June 8 by Naki. Anybody success with unlocker on VMware Workstation 15.1? Hello,I'm running a multi-head workstation built on top of ESXi 5.5 (can't upgrade for various reasons) with Unlocker 2.0.8. In particular: I'm running a Windows 10 pro VM and an OSX 10.11 (El capitan) VM.
Those two VM uses PCI passthrough, so that each one has a dedicated PCI GPU and a dedicated USB PCI bus (close-to-native graphics performance, native USB devices, etc.).I've checked everything in my setup and I can't make nested virtualization work, but it worked previously on ESXi 5.0 with Unlocker 1.3.1.Is there any one here who succeeded with nested virtualization on top of ESXi 5.5 with PCI passthrough?Any help appreciated. Bear with me please, the vmware site is almost hopeless, so I ran across insanelymac.
So, I have a fairly high end laptop that has enabled me to push much of my development environment into virtual machines. One of these VMs was a macOS High Sierra install.
As a developer, I always have an interest in learning new things, and some of my co-workers are Apple advocates. Plus, there was some s/w I wanted to try that would only work on the mac. Using unlocker, etc, I was easily able to create a Mac workstation (what the hell do you call this - mac, macos, apple, mac VM? Lol, I don't have the lingo down right.). I've been using it for the last 4 months.Then came the VM Workstation 14.1.6 update.
It kept nagging at me, so I finally allowed it to install. Brain fart on my part, I should have backed up all of my virtual machines. All the Windows VMs came through fine, but the Mac is stuck in a perpetual re-boot cycle. I'm sure this is a vmware issue, but I was hoping maybe a reader has seen this before and has some ideas. I've gone through the vmware logs until my eyes bleed - lots of interesting but useless information.regards,cg.
How To Enter Bios In Vmware Workstation 10
Currently using VMware Workstation 15.0.3, with High Sierra 10.13.6 fully updated - Mojave has some issues because of changes to how the GUI is drawn so the performance is slower so I stick with High Sierra.
