    I got the newest Windows 10, newest VMWare Workstation 15 Player, the newest Unlocker, the newest .vmdk file for Catalina and the newest Catalina .iso so far on the 30th of July 2020.
    This right here worked so far perfectly on my AMD PC.

    Though these articles are way to confusing build I got send around like 20 – 30 times until I understood that those articles are just there to have more posts, which is better for Google SEO rating.

    But it’s free, so I really can’t complain.

    Thanks a ton. It worked for me. I downloaded the tools manually from –
    softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop/fusion/11.5.0/14634996/core/com.vmware.fusion.zip.tar

    Then modified the win-install.cmd as below.

    @REM echo.
    @REM echo Getting VMware Tools…
    @REM gettools.exe
    @REM xcopy /F /Y .\tools\darwin*.* “%InstallPath%”

    Saved and executed win-install.cmd (From Admin command prompt) and patched the Workstation 15.5 and then copied the darwin ISO tools from the extracted location to VMware Workstation install path.

    Hi men.
    I am actually on Win 10 pro x64 insider version, Build 19635, release 200522-1435.

    I use the last vmware product, VMware® Workstation Technology Preview 20H2 Pro.

    Disapointed, I tested with unlocker, 2.08, 2.10, 2.11, then 3.0, and 3.0.2..
    Nothing appear in the menu. So what should i do now ?

    May be any new version in preparation for this version of vmware ?

    Thanks by advance for your answer.

    If you want to use this program, (maybe) make sure you are connected to the internet network.

    In my case, this program has something to download whatever it’s called. All I remember is the name vmware-fusion.tar, which is about 580MB in size.

    Works fine on my VMware 15.5 Pro.

    Source :
    https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/987-vmware-tools-for-os-x-macos-darwiniso-and-darwinpre15iso/

    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.

    You can 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.tar\com.vmware.fusion.zip\payload\VMware Fusion.app\Contents\Library\isoimages\

    Solution :
    edit lnx-install.sh and comment line 32,33,34 like that :
    #echo Getting VMware Tools…
    #python gettools.py
    #cp ./tools/darwin*.* /usr/lib/vmware/isoimages/

    softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop/fusion/11.5.0/14634996/core/com.vmware.fusion.zip.tar

    Extract darwin.iso and darwinPre15.iso from com.vmware.fusion.zip.tar then copy the files in /usr/lib/vmware/isoimages/

    For windows it’s win-install.cmd lines 49,50,51,52 :
    #echo.
    #echo Getting VMware Tools…
    #gettools.exe
    #xcopy /F /Y .\tools\darwin*.* “%InstallPath%”

    Enjoy ;-!

    Hi,

    1. I get the same issue as the above from win-install.cmd. Going to browser does not find this file at all.

    2. When I open VMWare 15.5 I do not see any MacOS option tp install Workstation.

    I have tried both the Unlocker master and unlocker210 install files and get same issue.
