1. Introduction
--------------Unlocker 2 is designed for Workstation 11, Player 7 and Fusion 7.
If you are using an earlier product please continue using Unlocker 1
Version 2 has been tested against:
*
*
*
*
The patch code carries out the following modifications dependent on the product
being patched:
* Fix vmware-vmx and derivatives to allow Mac OS X to boot
* Fix vmwarebase .dll or .so to allow Apple to be selected during VM creation
* A copy of the latest VMware Tools for OS X is included
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 and Pl
ayer.
The vmwarebase code does not need to be patched on OS X so you will see a
message on those systems telling you that it will not be patched.
In all cases make sure VMware is not running, and any background guests have
been shutdown.
The code is now Python as it makes the Unlocker easier to run and maintain on ES
Xi.
There are some challenges to write the code as ESXi has a subset of Python 2.7 w
hich
constrains some modules that can be used.
2. Prerequisites
---------------The code requires Python 2.7 to work. Most Linux distros and OS X ship with a co
mpatible
Python interpreter and should work without requiring any additional software.
Windows has a packaged version of the Python script using PyInstaller, and so do
es not
require Python to be installed.
3. Limitations
-------------The Unlocker currently does not work on ESXi 6.
Work continues to find solutions to the limitations.

8. Thanks
--------Thanks to Zenith432 for originally building the C++ unlocker and Mac Son of Knif
