macOS Unlocker V3.0 for VMware Workstation+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+| IMPORTANT: || || || Always uninstall the previous version of the Unlocker before using a new || version. Failure to do this could render VMware unusable. || |+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+1. Introduction---------------Unlocker 3 is designed for VMware Workstation 11-15 and Player 7-15.If you are using an earlier product please continue using Unlocker 1.Version 3 has been tested against:* Workstation 11/12/14/15 on Windows and Linux* Workstation Player 7/12/14/15 on Windows and LinuxThe patch code carries out the following modifications dependent on the productbeing patched:* Fix vmware-vmx and derivatives to allow macOS to boot* Fix vmwarebase .dll or .so to allow Apple to be selected during VM creation* Download a copy of the latest VMware Tools for macOSNote that not all products recognise the darwin.iso via install tools menu item.You will have to manually mount the darwin.iso for example on Workstation 11 and Player 7.In all cases make sure VMware is not running, and any background guests havebeen shutdown.The code is written in Python.2. Prerequisites----------------The code requires Python 2.7 to work. Most Linux distros ship with a compatiblePython interpreter and should work without requiring any additional software.Windows Unlocker has a packaged version of the Python script using PyInstaller,and so does not require Python to be installed.3. Limitations--------------If you are using VMware Player or Workstation on Windows you may get a core dump.Latest Linux products are OK and do not show this problem.+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+| IMPORTANT: || || || If you create a new VM VMware may stop and create a core dump. || There are two options to work around this issue: || || 1. Change the VM to be HW 10 - this does not affect performance. || 2. Edit the VMX file and add: || smc.version = '0' || |+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+4. Windows----------On Windows you will need to either run cmd.exe as Administrator or usingExplorer right click on the command file and select 'Run as administrator'.win-install.cmd - patches VMwarewin-uninstall.cmd - restores VMwarewin-update-tools.cmd - retrieves latest macOS guest tools5. Linux---------On Linux you will need to be either root or use sudo to run the scripts.You may need to ensure the Linux scripts have execute permissionsby running chmod +x against the 2 files.lnx-install.sh - patches VMwarelnx-uninstall.sh - restores VMwarelnx-update-tools.cmd - retrieves latest macOS guest tools 6. Thanks---------Thanks to Zenith432 for originally building the C++ unlocker and Mac Son of Knife(MSoK) for all the testing and support.Thanks also to Sam B for finding the solution for ESXi 6 and helping me withdebugging expertise. Sam also wrote the code for patching ESXi ELF files andmodified the unlocker code to run on Python 3 in the ESXi 6.5 environment.History-------27/09/18 3.0.0 - First release02/10/18 3.0.1 - Fixed gettools.py to work with Python 3 and correctly download darwinPre15.iso10/10/18 3.0.2 - Fixed false positives from anti-virus software with Windows executables - Allow Python 2 and 3 to run the Python code from Bash scripts(c) 2011-2018 Dave Parsons
It’s now common knowledge the vSphere Web Client is the main and preferred client VMware want us to use. Apart the resistance of users to adopt new tools, there are also two clear situations where you still need the Windows Client: the configuration of an ESXi server not connected to vCenter, and Update Manager.

In order to use vClient on a non-windows system, both a Mac as me or Linux, the most used solution is to have a Windows VM with the vclient installed on it, and to power it up when needed. With the new SSD disks the VM power up is much easier than in the past, but still it requires 30-40 seconds everytime from the moment we decided we need to use the vClient, and the moment we can effectively use it.
So, I was interested by this tweet from Bas Raayman:

Re: VMware vSphere Client For Mac OS X 10.9 8Alex8 Dec 11, 2015 4:06 PM ( in response to Jjv ) Not sure why VMware has not developed a vSphere client for MAC OSX.
I never used CrossOver in the past, so I decided it was time to give it a try. First of all I downloaded and installed it on my Mac OS X 10.8. Then, I created a new enviroment to simulate a Windows XP:
Inside of it, I installed .Net 3.5 SP1. Crossover in fact has a library preloaded with many softwares’ links, already tested and certified, and you only need to select them in order to install them, and the program also download them by itself from Microsoft or other vendors (when possible, obviously):
With the same procedure I installed Internet Explorer 7, and finally the vSphere Client. The installation is really easy: in CrossOver you select “Configure -> Install Software…”, in this menu you choose “Other Application”, select from the file system the vClient installer binary, and you answer to all the wizard’s steps like you would do in an interactive installation in Windows:
Download Vsphere Client 5.5
Once the installation is completed, you can start vClient and connect to your vCenter, and here it is the software running on my MacBook!

Be aware, the programs does not run perfectly, and most of all you cannot use the VM console. But for many tasks is more than enough 🙂
