I forgot to mention that the saved virtual machines I have to behave strangely after deleting VMware Fusion. Is there another folder or copy of the old VMware or (unworking install) something that could need flushing too? Ultimately I end up with a VMware Fusion icon in the apps folder, but when executed, it just hangs or spins the wheel indefinitely, and I have to Force Quit with the activity monitor manually.ĭoes anyone else have similar issues with macOS 12.5 (21G72) and Fusion? Install again, and the same issue happens, but I also have to put in my password to authorize the installer. I delete it from the apps folder and emptied the trash.

Remember to file as much feedback to Apple as possible during the beta period. A silver lining for the extra time spent, made easy if you take a snapshot of your VM immediately before running the installer. One benefit of the roundabout method I used would be the ability to start your testing workflow for each beta release by running the installer itself as step one.

You could alternatively try downloading the Ventura installer package and creating a Ventura USB installer and skip a few steps. I haven't given this a shot yet myself, but it may simplify the workflow quite a bit if VMWare Fusion plays nice with the resulting file. Macintosh's link to the Ventura installer package with Rich Trouton's create_macos_vm_install_dmg script. There are other ways to proceed - after going through this workflow myself, someone mentioned a powerful combination of leveraging Mr.
