Screenshot from the compatibility matrix attached. IF you used those older VMs for a while, they should already have a working Tools on them, one you should keep using.

#UNINSTALL VMWARE FUSION MOJAVE UPDATE#
I have not tried this on 10.11 El Capitan - whatever version I have there right now seems to work fine, so I better not tinker with it.ĭue to this, I cannot say about 10.11, but for 10.10 and lower you are stuck with an even older VMware Tools, with no way or need to update it. NOTE: Do not use this one on macOS Guests with macOS 10.13 or higher - on those latest VMware Tools 11.x should work fine. Please tell me if something is not clear.
#UNINSTALL VMWARE FUSION MOJAVE INSTALL#
You may need to fully uninstall the version of VMware Tools installed now, then install this one.Īgain, this only refers to and is usable on macOS 10.12 - not older or newer (may work on 10.11 too, but I am not sure as I did not try).
I was able to get this 10.3.10 VMware Tools version from VMware website by logging in with my VMware account. So, for newer macOS Guests you can use latest 11.x version Tools, and for 10.12, this one. Some VMware online docs mention this version, but they do not include any link to it. Note this version is on a separate code branch from 11.x Tools so in fact this 10.3.10 version is NEWer than 11.0, for example. Note doing Google searches for this version will likely yield nothing useful. So, you need this special, separate VMware Tools 10.3.10 version. The below mostly refers to macOS 10.12 Sierra - newest one that does NOT properly support VMware Tools 11.x, or more exactly - newest version of macOS VMs that VMware Tools 11.x does not properly support. Workaround: Use VMware Tools 10.3.10 instead.
As a result, all VMware Tools functions are not available, the virtual machine's resolution can not fit to the size of the virtual machine window and shared folders feature does not work. VMware Tools 11.0.0 kernel extensions can not be launched in macOS 10.11 or 10.12 virtual machine.Īfter installing VMware Tools 11.0.0 on macOS 10.11 or macOS 10.12 virtual machine, running the kextstat | grep vm command in Terminal shows that no VMware Tools kernel extension is launched inside the virtual machine. The bottom-most issue says this about the issue: The Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package is a prerequisite for installing VMware Tools for Windows 12.2.5 and ships with the VMware Tools 12.2.5 download package. This is well-documented on VMware's website, here:
VMware Tools 11.x version does not work on macOS 10.11 and 10.12 (or older) - it will seem to install fine, but then none of the VMware Tools functions are available, so no resolution switching, Shared folders, or USB devices connection ability.
