About This File
- The goal of this project is to make Darwin more usable by providing an installation ISO, documentation, and add-on software. I don't think you can directly get a copy of Darwin in an ISO format. There are some channels setup to get the source code but you're not going to get a usable installer and operating system without going to a community.
- Download a copy of the latest VMware Tools for macOS; Note that not all products recognise the darwin.iso via install tools menu item. You will have to manually mount the darwin.iso for example on Workstation 11 and Player 7. In all cases make sure VMware is not running, and any background guests have been shutdown.
Download Darwin.ISO from the link below and place it on your desktop. VMware Tool ISO File.

Darwin is the Open Source operating system from Apple that forms the basis for macOS, and PureDarwin is a community project to make Darwin more usable (some people think of it as the informal successor to OpenDarwin). One current goal of this project is to provide a useful bootable IMG and Virtual of Darwin 10.x Another goal of this project is to provide additional documentation.
Ive created an El Capitan VM initially without icloud or keychain. I ran the vmware tools package from the darwin iso but got a message about unable to source sound or something. I had my bigger screen. Next, after a reboot, I was able to run app store and successfully download a fre.
This is the current version of VMware Tools for OS X / macOS from the VMware CDS repository for Fusion 11.0.3
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. Technosat ts 500 update.

Before You Begin
VMware Tools ISO images are frozen for some end of life guest operating systems. Some ISO images are not included with ESXi in the tools-light VIB. For more details, see the VMware Tools Documentation page. All VMware Tools ISO images are available for download from http://my.vmware.com.
VMware Tools for Windows: 32-bit and 64-bit installer executable (.exe) files are available for download. These files are provided for easier access and installation of VMware Tools in Windows guest operating systems.
When a newer version of vmtoolspkg VIB is installed, VMware Tools status might not change. This limitation is observed in vSphere 5.5.x and update releases. To work around, power off and power on the VM or reboot the host.
Important note about upgrading to ESXi 5.5 Update 3b or later
Resolution on incompatibility and general guidelines: While upgrading ESXi hosts to ESXi 5.5 Update 3b or ESXi 6.0 Update 1 or later, and using older versions of Horizon View Agent, refer to the knowledge base articles:

Resolved Issues
- VMware Tools 10.2.0 does not recognize UFS filesystem partitions
VMware Tools 10.2.0 has dropped UFS from the list of known file system type. As a result, the default filesystem of Solaris and FreeBSD is not recognized. VMware Tools Services in the GuestInfo for the virtual machine do not report these filesystems. You might not be able to monitor the disk usage of UFS filesystems with vRealize Operations or vCenter Managed Object Browser.
This issue is resolved in this release.
- Ports are exhausted on a guest VM after using VMware Tools 10.2.0
Guest VM ports are exhausted after using VMware Tools 10.2.0. This results in network connection failure.
This issue is resolved in this release.
- VMware Tools 10.2.0 WDDM driver is not compatible with View 6.x or earlier.
Connecting to a virtual machine with View Client might disconnect and fail with a black screen. This issue is observed after installing VMware Tools 10.2.0 WDDM driver on View 6.x and earlier.
This issue is resolved in this release.
- Information about non-existing device mounted to a file system was not reported
Few Linux guest operating systems might have a non-existing device mounted to a filesystem. For example, dev/root/. VMware Tools does not report this information.
This issue is resolved in this release.
- Windows Server 2008 R2 guest VM ports are exhausted after upgrading to VMware Tools 10.2.0.
VMware Common Agent Framework (CAF) ManagementAgentHost service process blocks guest networking after running for some time. Attempt to connect remotely fails due to exhausted guest VM ports.
This issue is resolved in this release.
- vnetflt.sys causes active directory problems resulting in an authentication failure.
Attempts to log in fail due to problems in the active directory. Network Introspection driver vnetflt.sys, which uses deprecated TDI framework causes this failure. The driver is installed during the installation of VMware Tools.
vnetflt.sys driver is replaced with the new WFP-based vnetWFP driver for Windows 7 and later.
This issue is resolved in this release.
- VMware Tools will not auto upgrade on power cycle of VM.
If the guest VMware Tools version is older than the host version of VMware Tools,vmware.logfile displays a message similar to the following:
2016-12-19T12:48:41.353Z vmx I120: ToolsUpdateManifestInfoWorkerThreadDone: Compared tools manifest from host and from the guest. Status = 3.
Status 3 indicates that the guest VMware Tools is the current version. Guest VMware Toolsmanifest.txtis corrupted.
This issue is resolved in this release.
Darwin Vmware Tools
Known Issues
- Shared folder shows empty on Ubuntu17.04 with open-vm-tools.
On rebooting Ubuntu 17.04 with open-vm-tools installed, the shared folders /mnt directory is empty. This issue is observed even after installing Ubuntu 17.04 using easy install, enabling shared folders in VM settings and selecting Always Enabled.Workaround:
- Disable Shared Folders in the interface
- Enable Shared Folders after the VM is powered on with VMware Tools running.
