iso to install this MacOS with, without a 'Mac' !!? Any help would be much appreciated!! ISO !!! (Aaarrgghh.) I've looked for/tried many utilities, but I seem to have no way to make a 'Bootable'. It NOW won't boot at all, it seems, because it's no longer a BOOTABLE. Using (trying) VARIOUS ISO tools, I found and DELETED this file, (that was their common solution that is supposed to work!), and then re-created a new. \Install macOS High Sierra.app\Contents\SharedSupport\ folder. ISO, and finding a file called ' ist' which was in the.
Evidently, it helps 'fool' the MacOS that it is going to a 'real' Mac computer!! This was all done, before trying the final 'Install' Now their main Work-Around' consisted of extracting the contents of the initial MacOS. cd "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\" VBoxManage.exe modifyvm "macOS 10.13 High Sierra" -cpuidset 00000001 000106e5 00100800 0098e3fd bfebfbff VBoxManage setextradata "macOS 10.13 High Sierra" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemProduct" "iMac11,3" VBoxManage setextradata "macOS 10.13 High Sierra" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemVersion" "1.0" VBoxManage setextradata "macOS 10.13 High Sierra" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiBoardProduct" "Iloveapple" VBoxManage setextradata "macOS 10.13 High Sierra" "VBoxInternal/Devices/smc/0/Config/DeviceKey" "ourhardworkbythesewordsguardedpleasedontsteal(c)AppleComputerInc" VBoxManage setextradata "macOS 10.13 High Sierra" "VBoxInternal/Devices/smc/0/Config/GetKeyFromRealSMC" 1 I had DONE this, as requested, which sets additional parameters to the Virtual set-up, that can't be done in the VirtualBox GUI. Now I forgot to mention earlier, that after initially setting up the 'Virtual Device', you have to completely close down VirtualBox, and from a CMD shell with Administrator rights, enter/copy & execute the following lines. " This copy of the install MacOS High Sierra application is damaged and can't be used to install MacOS" Now, after searching on Google about this precise problem, numerous Sites stated that this is actually a LIE, (about being 'damaged'), and it is actually due to Apple trying to STOP people from trying to install older versions, date-wise, and they explained various work-arounds! (Yay!!). All done OK, & back to the menu, to 'Install' After initiating the final 'Install', that's when the shit hits the fan!! It pops up a message box, saying. ( Assuming it is also making it compatible for a Mac!!). (I'm assuming that so far, all this is just loaded into a Virtual RAM Drive!) Then, still within the Apple GUI, it comes up with a Menu, to Install, & also to select Disk Utilities which I was told to select first, at that stage, and to Format the 'Drive' I had allocated. iso and starts streaming command lines on the screen, eventually 'Starting' an 'Apple' GUI Window asking for the Language. ISO file that Mac OS, and clicking on 'Start', it seems to be booting just fine from the. All that seems fine!, and after specifying the (various versions downloaded!). As per numerous instructions/sites, I've initially set up the " MacOS High Sierra 10.13" Virtual Device, using all the specified settings etc, with the exception of offering even ' more' RAM and HardDrive space than the basic amounts required, as I have the availability. I've had no problems setting up VirtualBox, including the latest AddOns Module.
My Windows laptop has 2 large drives, and 24gb RAM. Now I've seen NUMEROUS Sites explaining all the steps, including many YouTube videos, but have not had success. darwinPre15.I've never touched a Mac in my life!, and only want to look around & play with it, for general education. darwin.iso is located in the "payload" folder Instructions for extracting darwin.iso and darwinPre15.iso The various VMware Tools downloads are located under the packages folder for each version upto and including 11.1.0. Please note: In the latest VMwareGfx.kext from Fusion 8.5.5 onwards VMware have discontinued the 2D-Acceleration code, and graphics performance is better now, thanks to Zenith432 for the update.
If you prefer to download the "core" tar file and extract the ISO's they are located in the following directory in the tar file:Ĭom.\\payload\VMware Fusion.app\Contents\Library\isoimages\ However, I have extracted the darwin.iso and darwinPre15.iso from the "core" and uploaded to this thread. It is not possible to download the .tar due to upload limits. VMware are no longer including the ISO images as separate "packages" in the CDS respository as of Fusion 11.5.0, instead the ISO images are included as part of the "core" download which is 522 MB. This is the current version of VMware Tools for OS X / macOS from the VMware CDS repository for Fusion 11.5.0
