1. great sir many many tnx to you i m proud of you sir i wnat to instakk mac os on lion on gigabyte mt-s2pt rev 2.1 plz provide me dsdt my processor core 2 duo e7500

2. ¡Funciona! Joa, gracias. It works! Thank you dude.

3. I got the OS loaded on the Installing OS screen and I am stuck on the “Select the disk where you want to install” It does not list an option. ANy help?

   • Did you figure this out? You have to back up a screen and select disk utility from the menu above. Select the VM HD and erase and format it. Then you will see a disk to install to on the next screen.

     • I did figure it out thanks. I eneded doing exactly what you posted. I figured since its a VM, creating/formatting etc would not hurt anything other than having to create a new one again. I am up and running now. Thanks

4. I don’t have graphic card on my laptop i had 4 GB ram and DUAL CORE 64bit processor, I had downloaded ISO. file of Snowleopard and Virtual machine, but it says a error for Graphic card. can this vmware help me out ??

5. I’m running in to an error when trying to use the unlocker on windows 8.1 with vmware workstation 7/8/9 when trying to run the programs or the BAT files it says in a windows security pop up that “the file cannot be opened” & “Your internet security setting have prevented this file from being opened” I have ran this as admin as well but still no go! and im not sure how to run it from command terminal, any help would be greatly appreciated

   • You can ONLY run it from the commandline, in the terminal window.
     Make sure the bat file is in the same directory as the vmx file.
     Open the CMD Terminal so you have the black screen.
     CD to the directory containing the bat and vmx files.
     At the > prompt, type the name of the bat file ie: patch.bat and hit Enter.
     Wait …..
     Wait ….

     Done.
     Type Exit. Double click the vmx file.

6. Firstly thanks for your brilliant job. But in detail it is worse than mac snow leopard. It’s shared folder and internet is not working at all. Beside the vmware mac guest unlocker is not working. Please do something soon about it. 🙂

   • After a little work I fixed everything but internet connection is not working, please post a detailed on it. plz plz plz

7. It is an excellent instruction of how to run an unlocker, thanks.

8. hi i just wanted to ask, why should i do this unlock? because i tried it with out actually unlocking and it worked just fine for me.. i double clicked on the vm file.. and it opened up and started working.. so what is the real need for unlocking the vmware?

9. When i run install.cmd as an administrator using command prompt, in the lines of code it runs in command prompt i see some “access denied” and it didnt copy any files. Please help.

10. When i run install.cmd as an administrator using command prompt, in the lines of code it runs in command prompt i see some “access denied” and it didnt copy any files. Please helpp.

11. With unlock-all-v120 or unlock-all-v110 installed, you won’t be able to disconnect USB devices from host and connect them to virtual OS, all the virtual OS are affected, including the Mavericks image, and the Windows & linux images. I have tested this on multiple machines and that seems to be a bug in the unlocker.

12. Is it possible to activate quartz composer trough vmware graphics card ?

13. Thanks for the instructions, it worked fine to the end but after getting into Mac OSX guest it freezes after a minute and I have to power it off. any ideas? I am using AMD phenon II 945

    • Hi Mahmoud,
      I have the same problem. Did you find any solution for it?

14. Hey

    I have downloaded the file from here https://www.sysprobs.com/easily-run-mac-os-x-10-8-mountain-lion-retail-on-pc-with-vmware-image . And all works ok without the unlocker in my VMWARE Workstation 9 installation.

    Does the unlocker provides more performance.

    Thank you. Sorry for the redaction, i am writing in the mountain lion virtualized system.

15. Is it possible to patch a vm ware player version 6??

16. I’ve got this error “Mac OS X is not supported with binary translation. To run Mac OS X you need a host on which VMware Workstation supports Intel VT-x or AMD-V.”
    Have tried to force virtualization engine prefered mode from “Automatic” to “Intel VT-x or AMD-V” but failed with

    “Preferred mode unavailable. Using binary translation instead.

    This host does not support AMD-V.”

    Somebody know how to solve that?

    P.S. AMD-V is enabled in BIOS.

    Thanks in advance!

    • I have HP Pavilion p7-1247c Desktop PC with 12GB ram, with my system I have check the bios and enable bios for virtualization.

      My Computer is supporting AMD-V and it’s enable, I have tested it.

      testing on VMW Workstation 10.0.2 build-1744117 installed on windows 7 64 bit system and I am testing OS X 10. 9 Mavericks ready image.

      I have installed patch (1) Hardware Virtualization Bypasser (file Ver 2.0.0.0, dated: 05/20/2012 5:47pm) and Unlocker (dated 9/18/2013, 9:30 pm)

      and then follow your direction but,
      I still got this error “Mac OS X is not supported with binary translation. To run Mac OS X you need a host on which VMware Workstation supports Intel VT-x or AMD-V.”

      I have uncheck binary translation option also and tried but same thing

      Please help me on this.
      Thank You,

      • You MUST have an Intel processor. You can’t use and AMD processer whatsoever. Again, It MUST be an Intel, and having Intel VT might as well be required.

17. The download link is no longer working

    • Its working. You must have ( or register) an account at insanelymac to download it. Its an free account.

18. Hey plzz tell me the link for vm ware unlocker

19. I followed the tutorial. I was great. I have used Hardware Virtualization Bypasser and the patch was working fine. But,
    I couldn’t run Mac OS X Lion on x64 based processor and the error came like this. ( I am complex between “x86 is single core” and “x64 is dual core”. )
    __________________________________________________________________________
    ” This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit guest operating systems. However, 64-bit operation is not possible.

    This host does not support VT.

    For more detailed information, see http://vmware.com/info?id=152.

    Continue without 64-bit support? ”

    When I pressed OK it stopped working.

    After getting this error vmware crashes. Anybody please help.
    Also 5-10 min after booting up mac an unknown cd/dvd appears to mount.
    Sorry for bad english..

21. Found the image as torrent somewhere, including the patch for Workstation 10 and tested it, it works.
    Internet works.
    On the initial setup I set language to german but it is still english, doesnt matter.
    VMware Tools worked after reboot.
    Some smb didnt work, but mostly all works till I can see now.

    Thank!

    • I tried to run this script and was seeming to get errors about “access denied” on a couple files. It would show the Mac OSX 10.8 in the “Other” field, but it did not have it’s own specific mode. So, I decided to stop ALL the services running that use VMWare and killed the vmware-tray PLUS all associated processes (just for safe measures). Re-launched the bat file for Windows and it worked perfectly.

      I decided to modify it a bit for people who may be facing this issue also. Manually stopping/starting things is very painful! I know!.. Anyways, here you go.

      I uploaded it to pastebin: http://pastebin.com/egTe9DKa
