Open that extracted folder and find 'Unlocker.exe'. Once you've downloaded it, unzip to a folder with all of the contents inside of it. Using older ulockers to patch recent VMware workstation did not work and I could not start any virtual machines.Ĭlick here or click on 'VMware Unlocker' in Prerequisites to download VMware Unlocker. Later, I found a similar patch for 9 and 8 series. Obviously, the upgrade process replaced patched files, so no longer I able to run Lion OS X on VMware. I have demonstrated and tested on Workstation 7 series in previous post, but once I upgraded to VMware workstation 9 or 8, it stopped working. Sysprobs already published a working method to install and run Lion OS X on VMware workstation based on this unlocker.
But the latest Lion OS X needs this patching. UPDATE – This post has been updated after testing latest unlocker (version 1.1.0) with VMware workstation 9 on Įarlier Mac OS X versions like Snow leopard 10.6 and leopard 10.5 can run on VMware desktop virtualization products without this patch. Here is the download links of working unlocker for VMware Workstation 9, 8 and 7 series versions (tested by me) on Windows 7 32 bit host.
This unlocker utility replaces few VMware program files to be able to install and run latest 10.8 and 10.7 Lion OS X guests. If you are a Hackintosh user on desktop virtualization software VMware, then the “VMware unlocker” is a compulsory utility to run Mac OS X lion guests.
