Hopefully that gets you a VM with working VMware Tools. iso file to your VM.Īs it was created and signed before the apple certificate expired I would expect it to install without that error. So I would try an older installer for your Yosemite guest, for example try the one from VMware Fusion 11.1.0, see My guess would be that the expired certificate is biting you. I have not updated VMware Tools on it lately though.īut it used to work normally with older versions of VMware Tools. Not that that helps you beyond the "yes it can work on Fusion 11.5.1" question. FWIW I do have a yosemite guest here that works normally as it should. Not exactly sure how you would present that extra disk enclosure to your guest _if_ it would work as it should.įirewire isn't virtualised and there's no PCIe passthrough in VMware Fusion. These issues only happen for Yosemite.Īnybody else experienced this or has any clue why it is not working? I should have mentioned initially, VMware Tools works just fine for all other OS X / macOS distributions as a guest VM.
