![]() My normal account still failed with the dreaded "Internal Error". After uninstalling everything VMWare installs for the 10th time and creating another new admin account, the install worked and I could run a VM but only from the new admin account. At the time, it didn't occur to me try running VMWare from the new admin account. I tried that but when I switched back to my normal admin account, I saw the same Internal Error. One of the suggestions here was to install with a new Administrator account. When I uninstall VMWare Fusion and reboot, they disappear. I found the VMWare kexts in the /Library/StagedExtensions/Application/VMware Fusion.app folder. If you install VMWare Fusion and go to your /Library/ folder (not your ~/Library/ folder), you will see something called StageExtensions. As such, Apple has spent effort on recent updates to make the security around kexts more robust. These are essentially system files and drivers that run at nearly the highest privilege in macOS. I'm fairly certain that the problem is with permissions for the kext's that are part of the application. I suspect that you have to try many of the options presented in these pages and eventually something will work. But I don't think it is a general solution. P.S: Note down your license key before uninstalling. Install Fusion normally, this time, it should prompt you for the warning in Security & Preferences. Xattr -dr ~/Downloads/ (Here it would list you the possible quarantine, mostly chrome or safari, close that application) and run the command.Ģ. Xattr -l ~/Downloads/VMware-Fusion-xxxx.dmg If you see that kexts are not loading, then the issue is isolated at Mac OS level, Go to System Preferences -Security & Privacy-General- See if you get any message, which requires you to "allow" the VMware Fusion so that kext could get loaded.ġ) Manually remove Fusion completely (better by using App cleaner from FreeMacSoft) and then execute the below commands in Terminal window on Mac Host Try this command in terminal, kextstat | awk '$6 !~ /^com.apple/ ' this will load the kext status.ģ. ![]() lck files from your virtual machine bundle.
