Important Note: Before begin installing MacOS Sierra, make sure you have enabled Virtualization on your PC and VMware too. Here’s how to do it:-
Step 1# Create a New Virtual Machine
After finishing the steps above, now it’s time to begin start virtualizing and installing Mac OS Sierra. Let’s get started.
#1. Open File Explorer and navigate to unlocker208 extracted files and right click on win-install and select Run as administrator, when the windows ask your permission click Yes. This will unlock or start VMware services of Mac so that you can choose and install Mac on VMware.
#2. Now open VMware and click on File>New virtual machine(Ctrl+N), when the new virtual machine wizard pops up, just click Next.
#3. In this step, you’ve to select I will install the operating system later and click Next.
#4. Here you need to select Apple Mac OS X as operating system and choose 10.11 from OS X version then click Next.
#5. Customize your virtual machine name and location for the installation like the shot and hit Next.
#6. Now you don’t need to do anything just hit Next due to we won’t use the drive for our installation.
#7. Everything is ready now, customize hardware if needed or finalize the virtual machine settings creation by hitting Finish.
Step 2# Edit the Virtual Machine & Replace the VM Hard Disk
When the virtual machine created, point out your mouse on Edit virtual machine settings and click on it.
Notice: After the virtual machine has been created, don’t turn it on otherwise you might lose the virtual machine and begin the steps from the beginning.
Now here you can increase memory, processor if your system allows you and then select Hard Disk option and click Remove. When the hard disk removed, click Add then select Hard Disk and click Next.
On this page, let all things by default, just click Next.
Here you need to select use an existing virtual disk and click Next.
Now browse the VMDK file of MacOS Sierra from the extracted folder that you had downloaded then click Finish then click Ok on virtual machine settings.
Step 3# Edit the Virtual Machine (VMX) & Write Down the Command
It’s time to edit the VMX file of the virtual machine, to do that navigate to the macOS Sierra virtual machine files you had created and right-click on it and open it with Notepad.
When the file opened, scroll to the end and type the command down then press Ctrl+S to save it.
smc.version = “0”
Note: If you got the error later saying the value 0 in Smc.version = “0” is not valid, take away the quotations and it will work.
Smc.version = 0
Stuck booting up or can’t change the screen or do you have another problem? No matter, here’s the solution, click the link below and try one the solution methods from the list.
Step #4 Install macOS Sierra 10.12 on VMware
All right and now what you’re going to do next is power on the VM by clicking on the button above Power on this virtual machine.
When the VM powered on, on the first screen you’ll see the welcome page, choose your country then click Continue. This installation is similar to other OS X installation, so just enjoy.
Now choose a keyboard layout and hit Continue.
Select Don’t transfer any information now and hit enter.

Does this work on AMD?
Dear oliver, sorry for that but it doesn’t work on AMD Platform as I’ve said in the article, wait for the next version.
Next version of vmWare or macOS Sierra?
I’ve same problem. 🙁 Please let me know if you find any solution, using Yosemite on my AMD-A8
there is a version attached to the Intel version for Yosemite version for AMDs , I have it!
it’s a vmware file too.
you’ll find it if you search.
No one is gonna know its not AMD compatible if you leave a note in a middle of a paragraph in the middle of the article. I have to search it because I’m aware that Sierra is to new for the community to create AMD support. Many others ask because they do not see a disclosure at the beginning.
How can I speed it up? It worked but it runs pretty slow..
SSD works wonders.
Dear James,
You can increase memory to do this:
Go to virtual machine settings>Memory> Increase memory to speed up macOS Sierra or any other virtual machine.
Also we will have an article on this.
how do i improve the graphics memory
Dear joshua,
Thanks for your feedback, to improve graphics memory, navigate to VMware> Virtual Machine Settings(Edit virtual machine settings> Select Display> Change the value of the display memory from the drop down available for Shared graphic memory.
Sorry, I guess I don’t get it: is this a joke? When you go to the link in Google Drive to download the image, all there is is a text file. Did you remove it? What am I missing here? Thanks!
Thanks for your feedback and I’m sorry for the problems you faced, but now I’ve fixed that and its working.
perfectly clear guide and thanks for the image!
works on ESXi like a champ… just had to convert vmdk to ESXi compatible via vmkfstools command line – example here: http://www.vspecialist.co.uk/2012/10/vm-import-unsupported-andor-invalid-disk-type-7-errors/
FYI, that winds up expanding out to 79 gigs so make sure you have space
Did you import this from VMWare after going thru these steps into ESXi or were you able to run the install on ESXi direct?
VMware tools(I tried copy from host to guest) is not working after the update , how can I resolve this problem?
Dear Mark,
Can you check this article;- https://www.tactig.com/install-vmware-tools-macos-sierra/
when i play the virtual machine after all the steps. the only thing that happens is the vm ware logo comes up and the apple logo it just goes in a loop . help me
Thanks for your feedback, can you show me the screenshot?
When editing the virtual machine on Notepad, try removing the quotations marks when typing like this:
smc.version = 0
Yes its smc.version = 0 not smc.version = “0” this took me a lot of time to get it
the vmware image link is not working, only a text file is there please fix it.
Thanks for your feedback for having my attention towards the article, also sorry for the problem you had. Now its fixed and you can find and download the file from Google Drive.
Hello, do you have an image with the Final OS Sierra version ?
This one is beta.
Thanks !
Thanks for your feedback, Do you want to install on VMware or PC? If you want to install it on VMware then install macOS Sierra on VMware from the steps and when installed update it from App Store or if you want to install it on PC then yes I’m trying to install and share the guide with you.
It would be nice to have the official release version. I know it’s possible to update, but updating from a beta version, you never know if everything has been updated 100%. With a final release, you know upgrades are supported and there is a huge community to find problems.
Yes now its the final version.
Where is the full image, the file located on Google drive is last updated in July (Beta). The final release come out in Sept
Hello, i have installed the sierra and everything fine, but my screen resolution in small (1024×768). my actual resolution is 1366×768. how can i change the resolution? Your assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated..
Thanks for your feedback, dear Rajit,
open the virtual machine settings> Display>Select your screen resolution.
Hello. I haven’t 1366×768 resolution in vm settings…
Please install VMware tools and you’ll automatically have full-screen resolution.
I have same problem, on my AMD desktop 1920×1080 works fine, but on my laptop with 1366×768 wont work, maybe is the unlocker version (I use Mojave with 3.0.1)
I am running win 10 64 bit on same I installed all the setup but getting error
Binary Translation is incompatible with long mode on this platform. Disabling long mode. Without long mode support, the virtual machine will not be able to run 64-bit code.
Dear Umesh,
Thanks for your feedback, do you use AMD-V platform PC or Intel?
I’m having the same issue. I’m on an intel i7 6500u that has VT-x but it says I don’t have long mode support and then I click through that and then it says “Mac OS X is not supported with binary translation. To run Mac OS X you need a host on which VMware Player supports Intel VT-x or AMD-V.” and after that it closes.
Thanks!
Followed all steps, when i boot i get error “The firmware encountered an unexpected exception. The virtual machine cannot boot.” PLEASE HELP!
Dear Micheal,
See the step 2 + 3 and do them clearly or try doing the steps from the first.
hello there ..
i have a 32-bit x64-based processor
so as due to this vmware 12 pro is not being installed on my windows…
plzz help me
reply fast please…
Hi Harshit,
Your system is alright, you can try restarting your windows or see if your windows isn’t corrupt or have problems.
Hi, when I start it it gets me to Boot manager, what do i do?
Try doing step #2 #3 carefully or start from the first, and use the VMDK file of macOS Sierra correctly in place of VMware hard disk.
Why dont it work in AMD????
Because it is not supported for that.
Of course work in AMD (I have AMD Pro A8)
Make a backup of macOS 10.14.vmx
Change this value in the macOS 10.14.vmx file:

featureCompat.enable = “FALSE”
I have a problem the program give this error : Mac Os X is not supported with binary translation. TO run it you need a host on which VmWare Worstation supports INtel-V or AMD-V , how can I solve this problem?
Dear Albert, do you use an AMD-V platform PC? If yes, then I’m sorry that you can’t install macOS Sierra or El Capitan on VMware.
i HAvw intel core
I have the same problem with Intel core I5.
Try inserting the command like this: smc.version = 0
And if failed again, please try doing once again the step #2, #3 carefully once again.
restart your window…
press esc button…
go to bios…
go to configuration…
enable visualization technology and save it…
now start vvm ware i think it’s work…
It just boots to the apple logo then gets stuck in a loop I’ve tried changing the smc.version=0 without quotations and with I’ve tried just not adding the smc.version=0 to the code not sure what’s wrong but plz help.

When I try to sign in with the Apple account, I always get the same error :
“there was an error connecting to the apple id server”
How i can resolve this ??
Thanks
Thank you, great walk through!!!!
I currently have Yosemite as a VM on ESXi6 (underlying hardware is Dell Powervault SAN for file locations and Dell R720 with 196Gb to run the VM).
Question is: Can I just upgrade from Yosemite to Sierra?
I’m having the same trouble, can’t sign into any iCloud services. This also appears to be the macOS Sierra beta. Has this .vmdk been updated to the RTM? If not, can you please do so?! You’d be amazing….

Thanks Karar
Running VMware Workstation 12 Player, I get “The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system” when I try and boot the macOS 10.12 Sierra VM I created from the instructions above. Any ideas?
I can run an OS X 10.11 El Capitan VM without any issues.
i have the same problem…. it never boots
cpu disabled error…
Thank you very much. I can not change the screen resolution. There’s only 1024×768. Why could it be?
if i have two graphic cards
– Intel(R) HD Graphics 530
– NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M
how can i switch to Nvidia Card , because it high performance one
Thanks
I have installed MacOS Sierra 10.12 based on your provided instructions & resources. Its FANTASTIC!!! Thank you for your wonderful Guideline.
One Question, Can I Update MacOS Sierra? Its asking for updating to 10.12 .1 version.
Look forward to hear your answer! Thanks!
Thanks for your feedback and yes, of course you can update to the latest version.
Another Query, I have upgraded the Display Memory to 128 MB using VMware Tools. Can I Upgrade it to 512MB?
Actually, I want more speed & high performance. My HP Envy specs are
Processor: Intel Core i7, 2.5GHz
RAM: 16 GB’
Graphics: 2 GB
I am not a Tech Savvy. Please provide an easier way to increase Display Memory. Thanks!
great job but Audio is Choppy how can I fix this? im using vm ware 12 in windows 10 pro pc. Thanks in Advance.
Thanks for the clear, straightforward instructions. Worked first time!
I know this sounds a bit tedious; but how can I make the Dock transparent? I cant just seem to figure it out. I’ve already made sure that “Reduce Transparency” is unchecked. Yet its still the solid color. Any recommendations?
That’s because the graphics are not accelerated in VMware. There is nothing you can do about it.
The same applies for Windows 7 Virtual machines without VMware tools. Then the taskbar is blueish.
– USB Connection is not working, i can’t get my iPhone connected to the VM Ware for deploying apps via Xcode.
– Update to 10.12.2 is not possible as it crashes while the update process
🙁
So i just finished the update… after there were some problems (2 – 3 times the update aborted) it now worked. But i still can not connect my iPhone to the VM because USB Sticks will not processed through 🙁
Hi, did you solved it, because i have the same
Change USB Compatibility to USB 2.0
How do I increase the hard drive size to larger than 80gb? say 256gb for example? I tried using logic pro but there is not enough space for the additional files it needs to download
After following all the steps from the guide i still can’t get it to work properly.
i get the message that it couldn’t startup from the SATA HDD, after that it goes to a black screen with some options like boot normally but that doesn’t work since that will put it into a loop.
Here are 2 screenshots i took of both of the screens:

Dear johnatan
Try step 2 (Replacing the hard disk with the VMDK file of MacOs Sierra Correctly and edit the VMX file of the virtual machine in notepad correctly, or try inserting this in notepad smc.version = 0 with quotation marks or anything else.
Can i uses x-code smoothly with these steps.
Yes of course. See this article for installing and using xcode:-
Using iOS simulator with XCode
Doesn’t work for me.
I get
Attempting to start from SATA 0.0 … unsuccessful
Attempting to start from SATA 0.1 … unsuccessful
It is on Step #4, when I power the VM, I get blue screen of boot manager that offers options to boot the VM because it cannot boot successfully by itself.
Will this work using VMware Player 7.1.3? I started trying to follow your guide but didn’t have the option to choose OSX 10.11 as my operating system (the most recent on the list is OSX 10.10). When I got to the end of step #2 I was unable to specify the disc image – got this error: – “The selected virtual disk is incompatible with this Workstation 11.0 virtual machine. Adding this disk would make this virtual machine incompatible with older VMware products.” It wouldn’t let me finish & proceed. Am I right in assuming I’ll need to upgrade & get myself a fully fledged version of Workstation Pro 12 in order to get any further?
Got it working, seems to be running ok. But, like some of the others above, I can’t seem to edit the graphics/display settings to specify a screen resolution other than 1024 x 768. Have tried editing the display settings in VMware’s options…to no effect 🙁

Hi,
I tried to install Mac OS Sierra on my VMware workstation 12, but the thing is, i couldn’t be able to see the Apple Mac OS X in the Guest Operating System (Step 4). What should I do now? Can you kindly guide me?
did you find any solution.. even I am facing the same issue now.
I am trying to install macOS 10.12 in Vm ware and following your sites articles, youtube videos and tried tutorials too, but no matter how many times I try i cant get the AppleMacOSX option after running win – install by selecting Run as Administrator option.
Hi, thank you very much! It worked perfectly. I had to remove the quotations around the zero as you explained. I’m running Windows 10 Pro with VMware workstation 12.5. Thanks again!!
When i power my mchine on it comes up with this error: Mac OS X is not supported with binary translation. To run Mac OS X you need a host on which VMware Workstation supports Intel VT-x or AMD-V.
Are there any solution on this problem?
If you are sure your CPU supports virtualization, try to go in the setup and activate it. If your CPU doesn’t support virtualization, sorry, you can’t install OS X on VMWare.
Thanks a lot! This information is very useful.
Does it work with i5-5200u? I asked, because the new macBook Air uses a i5-5250u.
Thx
Hi , i followed all the steps as you mentioned in your post . but after completed all the steps its gives me the “Boot Manager” Screen in Virtual machine and one more thing is that VMware shows me that :- “OS X 10.11 is not installed on this virtual machine . Insert the installer and click “Restrat VM” “… it gives me three option
1:- Restart VM
2:- change CD/DVD Settings
3:- Never Remind me
Please help with this..
I get Operating System not found when powering on the VM.
aoa..

I have installed MacOS Sierra on ESX 6 with unlocker and everything is fine.
On the other hand, I can’t make time machine working, I have an error that says the backup was done on a different hardware
What config did you use for that?
t doesn’t work with ESXi 6.5 ProLiant 360 G6 (boot loop instead installation).
Thank you.
Works great on i7-3630QM and despite the VMware limitation of 128mb on the video, it’s surprisingly fast. it even shows my display’s correct resolution at 1366 x 768.
I was even able to upgrade to 10.12.3 with no issues. Good job on the tutorial.
Nice, it works! But…
I can´t login in the Apple Store for download upgrades or install apps like XCode.
What could be wrong?
Hi,
Can anyone help me with this please. When i click vmxf file i get code in XML format not like what its given in this guide. So i’m unable to put the last code smc.version. And without doing any edit on VMXF file i ran the vmplayer. But i get error saying
VmPlayer unrecoverable error:(vcpu-0)
vcpu-0:Verify vmcore/vmm/main/physMem_monitor.c:1180
…bla bla in dialogue box.
Is there any solutions?
Except for many Mac Apps which require direct access to the graphics card (this is not allowed within Virtual Machines), the OSX VM works great on my host system, which has an i7-3630QM clocked at 2.4 GHz.
Although I have not tried it yet, would updating the version of VMWare Workstation from 12.5 to 12.5.x possibly affect the use of an OSX VM on a PC? Namely, would OSX support in the VMWare WS update need to be unlocked again, or will it carry over with the update?
Thanks.
I am using vmware 12.5.5. After running win-install.cmd, vmware did not give me the option to install Mac.
is this virual machine support amd prossesor ?

Do you use unlocker208 and run as administrator?
Bummer…. it doesn’t work on the AMD Ryzen CPU?
No, it doesn’t work on AMD CPU.
Hey, I read several posts with instructions to get macOS running in vmware player/workstation. But it seems that it doesn’t work for me at all. After following every step I end up with a virtual machine that is starting to boot, failing, and restarting the boot sequence again. I really don’t know what is the issue here and I hope someone can help me. Could it be my processor or chip set? I have an MSI motherboard working with a intel pentium dual core G4400.
Do you have an AMD or Intel Processor core?
Well, as I posted above, I have an Intel Pentium dual core G4400 3.3GHz
Please use the unlocker correctly and if you again got the error, please try using another user account.

128mb of VRAM makes it choppy and not enjoyable. It there any way to let macOS grab hold of all my VRAM? Telling VMware player know I have 512mb doesn’t seem to work, macOS still says 128mb.

Hi… I ve reached the login page but my keyboard is not working on VM. I ve tried the whole process thrice. Please help!
Somewhere after updating VMWare WS 12.5.2 to 12.5.6 and OSX from 10.12 to 10.12.5, I lost the ability to boot OSX on my PC: during startup the VM just reboots repeatably with error code traces. I reverted to WMWare WS 12.5.2 and problem persists. I can run a snapshot, but the restored VM with OSX 10.12.5 just reboots ad infinitum. The log file indicates W115: DarwinPanic: panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff7fa4dc9a70): “DSMOS: SMC read error K0. Apparently In Sierra 10.12.4, Apple added some extra copy protection which is able to tell that the SMC emulation is not a real Mac! Has anyone been able to successfully shutdown and restart OSX 10.12.4+? I tried one trick mentioned on YouTube: I edited mac_os_x.vmx file to change line smc.present = “TRUE” to smc.present = “FALSE”, but this just resulted in a black screen!

I reverted to WMWare WS 12.5.2 and problem persists. I can run a snapshot, but the restored VM with OSX 10.12.5 just reboots ad infinitum. The log file indicates W115: DarwinPanic: panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff7fa4dc9a70): “DSMOS: SMC read error K0. Apparently In Sierra 10.12.4, Apple added some extra copy protection which is able to tell that the SMC emulation is not a real Mac! Has anyone been able to successfully shutdown and restart OSX 10.12.4+? I tried one trick mentioned on YouTube: I edited mac_os_x.vmx file to change line smc.present = “TRUE” to smc.present = “FALSE”, but this just resulted in a black screen!
