VMware Virtual Lab

Unlocker 3 is designed for VMware Workstation 11-15 and Player 7-15. The patch code carries out the following modifications dependent on the product being patched: Fix vmware-vmx and derivatives to allow macOS to boot; Fix vmwarebase.dll or.so to allow Apple to be selected during VM creation; Download a copy of the latest VMware Tools for macOS. If you try a live upgrade to ESXi 7.0 from an earlier ESXi version, installed as a disk dump image, by using the esxiso2dd command and VMware Tools version 4.0 or later, some VMware Tools files might be missing from the /productLocker location. Earlier versions of ESXi use a case-insensitive VFAT file system.
