- Power on the virtual machine.
- Verify that the guest operating system is running.
- If you connected the virtual machine’s virtual CD/DVD drive to an ISO image file when you installed the operating system, change the setting so that the virtual CD/DVD drive is configured to autodetect a physical drive.
The autodetect setting enables the virtual machine's first virtual CD/DVD drive to detect and connect to the VMware Tools ISO file for a VMware Tools installation. This ISO file is detected as a physical CD by your guest operating system. Use the virtual machine settings editor to set the CD/DVD drive to autodetect a physical drive.
- Log in as an administrator unless you are using an older Windows operating system. Any user can install VMware Tools in a Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows ME guest operating system. For operating systems later than these, you must log in as an administrator.
- The AppDefense component is not installed by default. You must perform a custom installation and include that component.
Procedure
The signature on the VMware Fusion.app is invalidated after it is upgraded with Autoupdate. If the VMware Fusion.app is upgraded to a newer release by the built-in software updater, the signature on VMware Fusion.app is invalidated after the upgrade. This issue is fixed in Fusion 11.5 release. VMware Fusion delivers the best way to run Windows on the Mac, and the ultimate development and testing tool for building apps to run on any platform. Ready for macOS 11.0 Big Sur, Fusion 12 supports macOS 10.15 Catalina and includes new features for developers, IT admins and everyday users. I appear to be in some website loop trying to download 11.5. I login and go to my products - all downloads. I select Fusion 11 Pro and click on Download That takes me to a Download VMWare Fusion where I see 'VMWare Fusion 11.5.1 for Intel based Mac' with another Go To Downloads link.
