Download VMWare unlocker and run windows/install.cmd script. It allows to choose Mac OS X system during VM creation later on. Convert Mac OS X image (Mountain Lion in my case) from.dmg to.iso (using dmg2img). Create VM for Mac OS X and choose created Mac OS X.iso file in new VM settings - hardware - CD/DVD (SATA) - Use ISO image file. It doesn't matter what type the DMG is as VMware Fusion cannot install OS X Yosemite by booting it or even booting the Install OS X Yosemite.app downloaded from Apple as that's not how it works in VMware Fusion. VMware Fusion must first make an Installer Image from the Install OS X Yosemite.app and install from the Image it creates. Sep 11, 2019 Create Windows 10 Virtual Machine using VMware Fusion 8 Pro. There are few things you will need: VMware Fusion 8 Pro license, you can download a 30-day trial to.

- Choose 'Install from disc or image' on the VMware Fusion “Select the Installation Method” window and click 'Continue'.
- On the “Create a New Virtual Machine” page click the button “Use another disc or disc image” and navigate to the Windows .iso file that was previously downloaded (during the Downloading Windows sub-section) and click “Open”.

- The picture below should show what the screen looks like after the file has been opened (though the version of Windows may vary).
- On the 'Choose Operating System' page, select the appropriate Operating System for the version of Windows downloaded and click “Continue”.
- The virtual machine created should automatically open up and the start up process for your version of Windows should begin.
This script takes a never-booted DMG and converts it to a VMware Fusion VM.
The germ of this idea came about, as all good ideas, and germs, do: while drinking beer. Specifically, I was tossing back drinks and tossing around ideas with Gilbert Wilson, and he mentioned that he uses the VMware CLI tools to convert DMGs to VMDKs based on a blog post he'd read. Intrigued, I asked Gil to email me the specifics. After seeing how potentially cool this was, I wrapped it up in this here terribly illegible, queasingly unpythonic script.

Note: Version 3.0 requires python3. If you wish to continue using vfuse with Apple's system python2, you should use the vfuse 2.2.6 release. However, at some point in the not-too-distant future, Apple is going to remove python completely from macOS, and you'll need to roll your own python3 to be able to use vfuse.
Options for installing python3:
- Install the pkg downloaded directly from python.org.
- Install Apple's CL Tools (either by downloading the pkg from Apple's developer site, or by invoking the shim at
/usr/bin/python3
). - Build your own copy of python (E.g. Greg Neagle's relocatable python tools). You'll need to ensure that this custom python is the default python in your
$PATH
.
Requirements
- VMware Fusion 11.5.1 Professional or above
- OS X 10.15+
- Python 3+
- A never-booted image created with AutoDMG.
- (optional) Packer 1.1.1 (or above) for building a vagrant box.
- (optional) qemu-img
Usage
Creating a VM
Running
vfuse
does not necessarily require sudo rights, but if you don't want to be prompted in the GUI for an admin password, run it with sudo
. (Escalated privileges is required to run the vmware-vdiskmanager
binary, which vfuse
uses.)The only required argument is
-i
aka --input
. Run thusly, it will create a vm called macos-vm.vmwarevm
in the current working directory:See the wiki for more on how to use
vfuse
.Caveats
vfuse
is meant to be used with never-booted disk images created with AutoDMG. Using vfuse
with a dmg created with Disk Utility is not something that has been tested, so you're on your own there. Likely, it's even more of a longshot with APFS.
