VMWare tools will not download

[rhuda21]

VMware tools will not download and i think it's because the links of VMware are being taken to Broadcom portal.

macOS tools are here, you need a login (I've been searching for this link for the last 30 minutes)

Temporary Fix

I've tried to build the project with the updated link (http://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop/fusion/13.5.2/23775688/universal/core/com.vmware.fusion.zip.tar), thanks to @raphl1 PR (#127) but failed because it's hard to get the dependencies satisfied. So, I read the source code to know what files that needed to patch the VMWare. There're only 2 files, darwin.iso and darwinPre15.iso in .../payload/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/isoimages/x86_x64/.

• Open Unlocker program and uninstall previous patch (if it's already patched).
• Put the required files in tools folder (or any).
• Back to Unlocker, uncheck Download tools and browse the directory containing the required files.
• Now, the patch should be working.

You can download the required files here: https://packages.vmware.com/tools/frozen/darwin/ ~To save up your bandwidth, I've attached the required files.~ ~tools.zip~

FYI, I used the ISO image from https://data.pyenb.network/macOS/isos/.
