Download VMware Tools for macOS Virtual Machine. When you install macOS High Sierra with the VMware Workstation virtualization program, you must install virtual machine tools. When you install MacOS with VMware Workstation software, you can use the VM Tools inside the program. But if you have installed macOS High Sierra on ESXi, you need to. Installing VMware Tools is part of the process of creating a new virtual machine, and upgrading VMware Tools is part of the process of keeping your virtual machine up to current standards. Although your guest operating systems can run without VMware Tools, many VMware features are not available until you install VMware Tools. When you install VMware Tools, the utilities in the suite enhance. If you use VMware Fusion or ESXi on a computer with an Apple label, you can create Mac OS X Server (10.5 or later) virtual machines and install VMware Tools. Prerequisites Power on the virtual machine.

About This File

This is the current version of VMware Tools for OS X / macOS from the VMware CDS repository for Fusion 11.5.0

VMware are no longer including the ISO images as separate 'packages' in the CDS respository as of Fusion 11.5.0, instead the ISO images are included as part of the 'core' download which is 522 MB.

It is not possible to download the com.vmware.fusion.zip.tar due to upload limits.

However, I have extracted the darwin.iso and darwinPre15.iso from the 'core' and uploaded to this thread.

If you prefer to download the 'core' tar file and extract the ISO's they are located in the following directory in the tar file:

com.vmware.fusion.zip.tarcom.vmware.fusion.zippayloadVMware Fusion.appContentsLibraryisoimages

Please note: In the latest VMwareGfx.kext from Fusion 8.5.5 onwards VMware have discontinued the 2D-Acceleration code, and graphics performance is better now, thanks to Zenith432 for the update.

To check for the latest version visit http://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop/fusion/.

The various VMware Tools downloads are located under the packages folder for each version upto and including 11.1.0.

Instructions for extracting darwin.iso and darwinPre15.iso

- Download the files above

- Extract com.vmware.fusion.tools.darwin.zip.tar

- darwin.iso is located in the 'payload' folder

- Extract com.vmware.fusion.tools.darwinPre15.zip.tar

- darwinPre15.iso is located in the 'payload' folder

Resolved Issues

• Intermittent BSOD is seen in guest VMs due to NSX Network Introspection driver (vnetWFP) in a NSX environment.

  NSX Network Introspection driver (vnetWFP) can cause OS crash during processing network connections, typically over loopback address. This behavior is seen in VMware Tools 11.0.0 and later versions.

  This issue is fixed in this release.

• NSX Guest Introspection drivers (vsepflt and vnetWFP) can leak memory while processing network traffic for ICMP or UDP packets.

  Memory leak can be observed in NSX Guest Introspection drivers (vsepflt and vnetWFP) when installed in NSX environment. This can lead to customers reaching the memory limits on their respective systems after some time. This issue is seen in VMware Tools 11.0.0 and later versions.

  This issue is fixed in this release.

• Denial-of-service vulnerability in the Host-Guest File System (HGFS) implementation of VMware Tools for macOS.

  VMware Tools for macOS contains a denial-of-service vulnerability in the Host-Guest File System (HGFS) implementation. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the identifier CVE-2020-3972 to this issue. For more information, see VMSA-2020-0014.

  This issue is fixed in this release.

Known Issues

Download Latest Vmware Tools Iso Mac Download

• After upgrading to a new version VMware Tools with installer parameter to remove the NetworkIntrospection feature, old version of vnetflt or vnetWFP driver service still runs.

  After the upgrade, the NetworkIntrospection feature is not present in the system's VMware Tools MSI database, but the feature's vnetflt or vnetWFP driver service still exists.

  Workaround:

  Refer to KB 78016.

  Note: Future tools upgrade from version 11.1.0 to a newer tools version will not have the issue.

• VMware Tools upgrade fails on Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 without SHA-2 code signing support.

  Microsoft has changed Windows driver signing to use SHA-2 algorithm exclusively starting December 3, 2019. Hence, legacy Windows systems without SHA-2 code signing support fails driver signature verification.

  Workaround:

  Refer to KB 78708.

• VMware Tools 11.1.0 fails to install on a VM with VMware Horizon Agent 7.7 or earlier installed.

  VMware Tools installation setup fails with a popup message: 'Setup failed to install the SVGA driver automatically. This driver will have to be installed manually.'

  Workaround:

  To workaround this issue:

  1. Choose Custom Setup.
  2. Unselect the SVGA Driver
  3. Install VMware Tools.

  Setup will complete successfully and retain the existing installed SVGA Driver. To reinstall the SVGA driver on a failed VMware Tools install, refer to KB1016770.

• Upgrade of VMware Tools hangs in a Windows Server 2008 Virtual Machine.

  VMware Tools upgrade process hangs in a Windows Server 2008 VM. This happens because the 'vcredist' bundled in the tools installer gets stuck and does not return.

  Workaround:

  If you have Windows remote management interface to the VM in the guest network, then kill the process when it hangs, like 'c:vcredist_x86.exe' /quiet /noRestart -burn.unelevated BurnPipe.{32940ADA-3765-4E48-8624-3DB276BB8083} {D6A63D73-EE4C-4698-8D19-C926D5E854A4} 1088'.

  You can also opt to kill the child process manually.

• AppDefense driver glxgi logs an error in the event viewer.

  AppDefense driver glxgi logs an error in the event viewer similar to the following:

  'The glxgi service failed to start due to the following error: A device attached to the system is not functioning.'

  The events are observed when Guest Integrity is disabled.

  Workaround:

  These events do not impact the system and are safe to ignore.

• Event Viewer driver warnings generated by VMware Tools boot start drivers glxgi, pvscsi, vsepflt, and vsock.

  When you have a secure boot VM with Microsoft Hyper-V and virtualization-based security enabled with Device Guard and Code Integrity policy set to enforced, then drivers, glxgi, pvscsi, vsepflt, and vsock might generate the event log warnings similar to the following.

  Log Name: Microsoft-Windows-CodeIntegrity/Operational
  Source: Microsoft-Windows-CodeIntegrity

  Operational Log:

  Warnings

  Event ID: 3083
  Level: Warning

  Description:
  Code Integrity determined kernel module system32DRIVERSvsock.sys that did not meet the WHQL requirements is loaded into the system.
  Check with the publisher to see if a WHQL compliant kernel module is available.

  Workaround:

  These warnings are safe to ignore. The drivers load and operate in the normal manner.

• Installing or upgrading versions earlier than VMware Tools 10.3.0 to VMware Tools 11.1.0 might take longer and Windows OS might need a restart.

  Installation process might appear to be in progress and displays a message similar to the following:
  ​ 'Preparing 'VMware Tools' for installation..'

  During this process, the user might be prompted to restart the operating system.

  Workaround:

  For more information, see KB 55798.

• Drag functionality fails to work in Ubuntu.

  Drag functionality fails to work in Ubuntu 16.04.4 32-bit virtual machine installed using easy install. Also, failure of copy and paste functionality is observed in the same system.

  Note: This issue is applicable for VMware Tools running on Workstation and Fusion.

  Workaround:

  • Add the modprobe.blacklist=vmwgfx linux kernel boot option.
  • To gain access to larger resolutions, remove svga.guestBackedPrimaryAware = 'TRUE' option from the VMX file.
• Shared Folders mount is unavailable on Linux VM.

  If the Shared Folders feature is enabled on a Linux VM while it is powered off, shared folders mount is not available on restart.

  Note: This issue is applicable for VMware Tools running on Workstation and Fusion.

  Workaround:

  If the VM is powered on, disable and enable the Shared Folders feature from the interface.
  For resolving the issue permanently, edit /etc/fstab and add an entry to mount the Shared Folders automatically on boot.
  For example, add the line:
  vmhgfs-fuse /mnt/hgfs fuse defaults,allow_other 0 0
