The host system (windows 10) freezes after installing the tools on guest.
Without the tools installed on guest, it works well, but the guest resolution is too small.
Anyone experienced this problem and has a solution for it?

Hello Mukhtar, I’d like to thank you for your help it made the macOS Big Sur installation so easy.
I’m facing an issue in installing VMware tools when I click install VMware tools this error message appears :

This operation cannot proceed because your Mac OS guest is using the CD/DVD.

Dismiss this message, eject the disc from inside the guest, and retry this operation.

Can you please help with this?

hi
thanks
It worked perfectly fine, but there is a problem!
it will not recognize wifi, so there is no internet connection
however, I used the same method for El Capitan and it could pick up a wifi signal
any solution for the issue?

Many thanks. It didn’t work for me. Resolution is still 1024×768. But I used the zip/iso of “VMware Tools packages for OS X” at https://my.vmware.com/group/vmware/downloads/details?downloadGroup=VMTOOLS1125&productId=1073&rPId=58582

Wondering why it is not for OS XI or Big Sur

Worked great! Thank so much for the great instructions.

How can I increase display memory from 128MB? I have installed vmware tools.

It worked for me but with 4k resolution and despite good hardware you can’t control anything properly

I can not install it because it keeps logout and returns back to login screen

Do you use the default VMware tools?

I’ve got the same issue. I tried like 20 times and each time the os said the install was successful. The performance is way better with VM Tools uninstalled. Maybe VMware needs to update?

If the direct VMware tools that we linked doesn’t work properly, use the default one.

I keep installing VMware Tools again and again but it didnt work. Screen resolution still same graphics display 3 MB

Did you Allow VMware Tools through macOS Big Sur Security Settings(Step 3)?

Also, make sure your VMware is upgraded to the latest version.

How would i do this on VirtualBox?

It’s different on VirtualBox. VirtualBox Extension doesn’t come for macOS. However, you can fix macOS Big Sur screen resolution on VirtualBox.

You can also choose to use VMSVGA graphics under display in VirtualBox, which is compatible with the VMWare Tools graphics driver. Works a treat.

Hi Mukhtar,
Thank you for giving us these tutorials. With the newest Vbox 6.1.16 it does have the vboxdarwinadditions for mac guests. But there is an issue when it comes time to install them, I think only on Big Sur because of new root directory and kernel restrictions. Are you planning on looking at a work around so we can install the guest additions on a big sur guest?
Thanks again
