How to install VMware Tools on Mac OS X EL Capitan on VMware
It's been my experience that with SIP (System Integrity Protection), a new feature in El Cap, enabled, installing tools will appear to be successful but it's not. You need to disable SIP and to do that, restart and boot into Recovery (Cmd+R when you see the VMware logo). Open Terminal, enter csrutil disable, quit Terminal, restart, invoke Reinstall Tools but run the Uninstall routine first, then Install. Reboot again into Recovery. Turn SIP back on with csrutil enable and reboot normally again. You should have a range of resolutions to choose from.
@MacsRule I disabled SIP, rebooted and without installing tools at all or in the first place, my resolution after disabling SIP automatically changed to 1920x1080 and gave me more options too. You dont need tools to do this. Thanks for the help.
Right click SnowLeopard in list of virtual machines > Show in Finder > right click SnowLeopard.vmwarevm > Show Package Contents > add the following line to SnowLeopard.vmx (to mask the CPU since new CPUs are not supported by versions prior to 10.6.7): cpuid.1.eax = "0000:0000:0000:0001:0000:0110:1010:0101"
This section explains how to correctly create a macOS Mojave bootable ISO image. First, download the macOS Mojave installer from the App Store. In the current example, a machine running macOS Mojave is used for downloading the macOS Mojave installer to avoid using third party downloading tools. Open AppStore, find macOS Mojave, click View and then click Get to download the installer. Notice that you need a full installer whose size is about 6.03 GB. If after downloading the installer, installation starts automatically, cancel it. After successfully downloading you can see the Install macOS Mojave.app file in the Applications directory. Open Finder and click Applications in the left pane of the Finder window to check the installer file.
After you are done and your virtual machine is loaded, you need to click on Virtual Machine and then Install VMware Tools. This will install the OS X virtual machine tools, which allows you to increase the resolution to HD and allows the virtual machine to run more smoothly. 2ff7e9595c
