Their most recent versions require the user to type commands in Terminal to the downloaded disk image file in order to make it work. My point was just that I wish they could be more clear and user-oriented in their approach. I was able to deduce the answer after considerable thought and actually trying the newer version on my system (no, it did not work, even though the new version did NOT have the universal “no” slashed circle symbol superimposed on it). I have no clue whether I should stay with version 11.1.1 or “upgrade” to 11.5.1. I have been a loyal user of this software for years, but their obtuseness in this area is beyond confounding, especially for my “Late 2011” refurbished in 2012 hardware running MacOS 10.2. Ignoring the grammar errors and misinterpretation that might provide, does that mean that minimum system requirements are MacOS 10.9 or newer? As a result, VMware Tools functionality is limited. “The VMware Tools kernel extensions can’t be launched on a virtual machine with older macOS versions.** In a virtual machine running macOS version 10.9 to 10.12, after installing VMware Tools, it’s kernel extensions cannot be launched. VMware Fusion 11.5.2 Release Notes makes no mention of minimum system requirements, BUT under “Resolved Issues,” it says:
VMware Fusion 11.5.1 Release Notes makes no mention of minimum system requirements. VMware Fusion 11.5.0 Release Notes specifies minimum hardware requirements from 2011 forward (with a couple of exceptions) AND MacOS 10.13 High Sierra or newer. But then comes this odd mix of uncertainty:
They often have combinations of hardware dates and OS version requirements, which can in itself be an interesting matrix to navigate. VMware does a terrible job of specifying exactly their system requirements in each release.
