I tried to restore the vmdk again last night, and still no dice.ДЄlso, as it turns out the 'internal' versus 'removable' made no difference as I was able to move the vmdk from SATA to SCSI (appears to the system as internal) but but unfortunately that snapshot got hosed at a later date and I was never able to make it workДЄgain after that.

#Darwin iso vmware tools install

There was one Mavericks install I had done a ton of work on which installed VMware Tools, which makes me think there was some file touched along the way

#Darwin iso vmware tools mac osx

what I do know is there is million + settings on the mac osx that can be hard to maintain and manage, makes life tough. I think the removable type came from selecting GUID partition, but

#Darwin iso vmware tools update

My VM has alot of work put into it so reinstalling is quite painful, and it didn't work when I reverted to the first snapshot.Д«ut hey I do thank you for the comment, I will send an update after I have reinstall on a internal apple partition configuration.

#Darwin iso vmware tools how to

Have already re-installed twice so not sure if that is the fix, but of course if I've got a bad setting or file, or doing something wrong I need to know how to fix it. I've had all kinds of issues running Mac in these VMware configurations, nothing I would consider 'usable'.

VMware Tools needs Mac OS X 10.5 or higher.ДЄll I am saying is VMware Tools is preventing the install based on bad info it derives from *somewhere*. I mean, Is there some file being checked here getting the incorrect OS version? I don't think it matters whether it's internal or removable but I can create or covert but still doesn't explain what Fusion is looking at here to determine the OS version (refusing to install). (whole other issue)Д«ut I think the difference is the apple partition table which I can replicate, but.

When I attach this dmg, it mounts as a blank DVD which has been a problem all along. Tried to install from the InstallESD.dmg but not able to correctly mount it under VMware. I was also going to take the vmdk to another platform and see if makes any difference (doubt it will)ДЄny Platform not involving Apple-branded hardware is a direct violation of the products SLA and may not be discussed in these forums! I just don't have the time now to analyze the two occurrences, one properly done and one using Pacifist to see if there are in fact any differences.

all seem to function properly however this was meant simply as a test and not a recommended way of installing VMware Tools nor do I know if it is essentially a complete install. I tested VMware Shared Folders, Copy & Paste, Drag & Drop and changing Screen Resolution. It basically just moved the files into places and then after I restarted the VM VMware Tools appears to be functioning. I just tested this on a clean build and using Pacifist opened the VMware Tools.pkg (Install VMware Tools.app/Contents/Resources/VMware Tools.pkg) from within the 'Install VMware Tools.app' bundle on the darwin.iso (VMware Tools for OS X) and selected 'Contents of files.pkg' then clicked Install and check 'Use Administrator Privilegs'. Still pretty confident I can work around the installer issue. not sure if I can run alternate package installer, and no idea which files are modified by VMware Tools installer.

This straight out of the iso but not being a Mac OSX expert. I am wondering if there is an alternative way to install VMware Tools manually? I can see the directory structure exposed within the darwin.iso but not sure if I can cp I only mentioned the external vs internal drive because VMware Fusion prior to 6.0.2 did not create a proper installer for OS X 10.9 Mavericks nor was it properly installed otherwise and the fact that it was not properly installed may have been a contributing factor to the VMware Tools install issue not necessarily that the disk showed as external! When clean installing OS X 10.9 Mavericks under VMware Fusion 6.0.2 VMware Tools are not automatically installed!ДЄlso, as it turns out the 'internal' versus 'removable' made no difference as I was able to move the vmdk from SATA to SCSI (appears to the system as internal) but that made no difference either but was tested Mapsurfer wrote: There was one Mavericks install I had done a ton of work on which installed VMware Tools, which makes me think there was some file touched along the way
