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

Faiz Post author July 11, 2020 at 4:59 PMReply

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

Mine won’t boot anymore after installing the VMWare tools provided here. Keeps getting some kind of error and crashing at the Apple logo. 🙁

Thank you for the guide. Works well. Used Darwin.iso for vmware tools. I am unable to see my sierra timemachine backup drive or any other drive attached to PC in the VM. Did I miss something? thanks for support.

I want to use more than 128 MB for graphic in installed high sierra on vmware workstation 14, because I have lag in it. Is it possible?

Thank you for your comment

And also I cannot find the VM Ware Tools ISO but there is a VM Ware.rar but it is in an unknown format or is damaged!

Faiz Orz Post author November 28, 2017 at 12:56 PMReply

Hello. I extracted the file and it extracted to darwin.iso- name but is a SIG file. What do i do with the SIG file

Faiz Orz Post author November 28, 2017 at 12:59 PMReply

I’m doing the opposite… I use VMware Fusion to have Windows 10 in a Macbook Pro – macOS Sierra 10.12.5. I’ve tried several times to install VMware Tools and or either hangs in “installing thin print drivers” or either I get error messages like for example:
VMware VMCI
VMware Paravirtual SCSI
VMware VMXNet NIC
They all said they must be installed manually… I hope you can help me out! I’m really tired of this…

Faiz Orz Post author July 25, 2017 at 7:05 PMReply

It’s seems I didn’t explained myself… I have macOS Sierra by default, but I already installed VMware Fusion to use Windows 10. When I try to install VMware tools, it either hangs in “installing thin print drivers” or either I get error messages like:
VMware VMCI
VMware Paravirtual SCSI
VMware VMXNet NIC
They all said they must be installed manually… I hope you can help me out!
Thanks for answering.

Seems legit, but you may provide the official unlocker/patch instead of scary g-drive file. Thanks.

Where is the official file?

No Problem this How-to is so Nixe everyone should know that

I’m so happy with the Full hd Resolution in Mythos VMware Mac OS X Sierra

Thanks for this nice workaround

Faiz Orz Post author July 17, 2017 at 8:43 PMReply

Welcome dear, Thanks for sharing your positive feedback.

YEHAAAAA it runs

Faiz Orz Post author July 16, 2017 at 11:16 PMReply

Thanks for sharing your feedback dear.

Faiz Orz Post author July 16, 2017 at 11:16 PMReply

That’s okay, now just run MacOS then click on the Full-screen button from the VM Tab and after that, it will fix to your fix resolution.

You’re welcome dear

I rarely leave comments but thanks a lot. Recently I was forced to upgrade my Yosemite to Sierra and that video card issue was pain in the ass =) Everything worked smoothly, highly appreciated your support

Faiz Orz Post author May 29, 2017 at 11:31 AMReply

Thanks for sharing your positive feedback.

I enabled 3D acceleration and selected a monitor size of 1600×1200. I then downloaded and installed the VMware Tools ISO you provide, but my MacOS 10.12 VM still will not change the display resolution. It remains at the small default size.
Windows 10, VMware Workstation Pro 12.5.5 build-5234757
Any other suggestions?

Faiz Orz Post author May 30, 2017 at 3:40 PMReply

Click on the Full-Screen button from the Virtual Machine Tab of VMWare.

I have the following message:

The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. Power off or reset the virtual machine.

Did you choose vmware tools that we provided you?

WOW! I LOVE YOU. Thought I was hosed after I updated my VMWare Workstation. You are a life saver.

Thanks dear BOB and good luck

Installed vmware tools, I get a warning about the script needing to be superuser to survive a reboot, I’ve enabled root, but still only get 1024/768.

macOS 10.12.3 2x processors, 4gb ram Vsphere 6.5 MacPro 5.1 64gbram

Faiz Orz Post author March 7, 2017 at 11:12 AMReply

Full screen the VM to fix the resolution.

I can not enable the 3d acceleration I Installed both vmtools and darwin but It could not active it
and tell me that the host operation could not support
I have an asus n56 with two intel HD 4600 and GTX 760m
I enabled all related thing to vm in bios
but It could not be ok with these setting
آقا مختار خیلی چاکریم داداش دمت گرم با این سایتت!

You’re welcome my dear. I’m not sure how you can’t enable 3 Acceleration. Do you want to install macOS Sierra on VMware? and it does not work?

خواهش میکنم برادر

I have reinstalled VMware Tools many times but I cannot get higher resolution then 1024×768. On VMware settings I have checked 3D accelaration and set graphic memory to 1GB. But this also not helps.

Increase your memory to 2 to 4 GB

hi mine is running but no graphics ,
ive got hd530 and gtx 950m is there anyway i could make get full graphic on my vmware macosx 10.12.?

Faiz Orz Post author November 25, 2016 at 7:30 AMReply

Yes dear, You can install VMware tools to enhance your VM performance. Also for graphics download and install the driver from NVidia website.
https://www.wikigain.com/install-vmware-tools-macos-sierra/

I’m having the same issue. I think the problem is that VMWare Workstation caps NVRAM for the graphics card at 128MB and doesn’t pass through 3D acceleration. Makes OS X kind of useless to me since it won’t run iMovie or a few other programs.

Using VMWARE 12.0.0 build-2985596 & El Captian
So this answers my question I posted 3X now.. So others are also seeing 3D acceleration grayed and not able to enable.
This was select-able in earlier versions of VMWARE.
I am using on board Intel Video card.

I’m running 12.5.2 build-4638234

I can enable 3D acceleration, but I get a warning that it is not supported in the guest OS.

Well.. well.. look what I found about 3D acceleration..

Faiz Orz Post author January 5, 2017 at 2:18 PM

Hey dear Wilson, I am sorry for you but we can’t enable 3D acceleration.

Thanks so much for assistance via this blog! I’ve only had one installation issue and that is VMWare Tools will not install without an error. I used the default darwin.iso provided with VMWare then I used the darwin.iso that you provided in the Patch Tools and got the same error message. Any ideas?

What’s the error message that occurs?

there is a darwin.iso.sig, and not sure what the .sig is for unless a version check / verification.

Don’t use darwin.iso, instead use vmware tools.iso

Oye, perfecto, funciona de maravilla, saludos.

If i installed vmware-tools it doesn’t work. Reinstall doesn’t help as solution. So i have only 1024×768. You have any idea?

If you think that every way that you apply doesn’t work just remove the Virtual Machine then, create a new one by using this step by step guide.
It will be more knowledgeable, and you’ll know the process of installing macOS Sierra on VirtualBox very well.
Good luck 🙂

Hello, How are you?
I just used your patch tool.
It worked. but i found some strange problem.
I wanted to change sierra screen resolution from 1024 * 768 to 1920 *1280.
Your patch tool changed resolution from 1024 * 768 to 1716 * 802.
I used vmware 10.0 and installed sierra.
Is there any way to change to 1920 * 1280?
I hope your helps.
Thanks.
