The CMakeList is set up to compile with static libraries, if you have shared ones change CMakeLists.txt file accordingly ( UNLOCKER_STATIC_LIBS_WIN variable). Run CMake on the source folder to generate a Visual Studio Project. libcurl is used for downloading the tools. The tar extraction is handled internally, while the zip decompression needs the libzip library. The program needs the following libraries: Run CMake on the source dir and it will generate a ready to build project. The program can be compiled on Windows with CMake, provided you get or compile the needed libraries first.

-help Shows a list of the available options.

-download-tools Downloads the tools in the tools folder.

Works only if the patch was previously installed and the backup folder is intact

-install (Default behavior when called with no arguments) Installs the patch.

Refer to the next section for more info about compiling the tool. After you compiled it, chmod +x if needed and run sudo. Linux (shell): You need to compile the program first. Windows (GUI): just download from the releases section, extract to a folder (store it if you want to be able to uninstall later) and run the executable.

In all cases make sure VMware is not running, and any background guests have

You will have to manually mount the darwin.iso for example on Workstation 11 and Player 7. Note that not all products recognise the darwin.iso via install tools menu item. Download a copy of the latest VMware Tools for macOS.so to allow Apple to be selected during VM creation Fix vmware-vmx and derivatives to allow macOS to boot.The patch code carries out the following modifications dependent on the product Unlocker 3 is designed for VMware Workstation 11-15 and Player 7-15. The resulting executable will be smaller and with better compatibility.įor the linux target, it is still shell-based, given the better-instructed user base running The Windows target features a GUI implemented throught the Win32 API.Īlthough this solution brings more complexity than using one of the many GUI libraries out there, The libraries are linked statically to provide one final executable for the sake of simplicity. The tar extraction, being relatively easy to implement, has been coded from scratch. It relies on libcurl for the networking (get requests and file download) and libzip for the zip extraction. Since the original project requires python, and it's not installed by default on windows, this tool hasīeen coded to provide an all-in-one solution with no additional dependencies needed. This project is born to provide a native solution, mainly on Windows, to the original Unlocker project.
