Drag and drop the Install Mac OS X Lion application onto the Choose an operating system installation disc or image drop-down menu. In VMWare Workstation > VM > Settings > Hardware tab > Processors > Check the 'Virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/RVI', then try to install (darwin.iso) vmware tools again. Try enabeling Virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/RVI. I assume that relevant improvements to VirtualBox are currently: To install Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) in a virtual machine using the Lion installer download: In Fusion, from the menu bar, go to File > New. That's probably the reason why VMware Workstation 8 doesn't provide any VMware Tools for OS X. Mountain Lion guest-related was similarly closed, presumably by a moderator. To install Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) in a virtual machine using the Lion installer download: In Fusion, from the menu bar, go to File > New.
Lion guest-related remains closed, not open to discussion. Unless I'm missing something, none of the 4.x change logs mention anything like this. with fewer of the OSx86-oriented additions that I found necessary with some previous releases of VirtualBox.For me, Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.2 (build 12C60) runs as a guest with VirtualBox 4.2.4 r81684 on a 12C60 host, MacBookPro5,2 with 8 GB memory:

I tried searching on google and some people said I needed to go to BIOS and enable Virtualization. 1 To be clear, Lion is licensed for installation in a VM, which is the first time Apple has allowed this for client versions of MacOS. To run Mac OS X you need a host on which VMware Workstation supports hardware virtualization. Message early in the boot process inside the virtual machine. I tried to install Mac OS on Vmware (8.0 and 7.1) and I got this error: 'Mac OS X is not supported with software virtualization. "This version of Mac OS X is not supported on this platform!" Normally you cannot install an Apple operating system on VMware Workstation because the program has no support for Apple OS systems.
Which would seem to explicitly permit running Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) non-server version as a guest under VirtualBox provided the VirtualBox host is also running Mac OS X.Īttempts to boot the 10.7 installer under VirtualBox 4.1.0 running on a Mac OS X system that is supported by Lion results in a you are granted a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive license: (iii) to install, use and run up to two (2) additional copies or instances of the Apple Software within virtual operating system environments on each Mac Computer you own or control that is already running the Apple Software."
