How to unlocker VMware workstation ?

I have updated the screenshots for latest 1.2.0 Unlocker I can confirm that latest 1.2.0 unlocker works well with VMware workstation 9 on Windows 10

Its very simple to Unlock/Patch. Close all VMware programs (if opened)

Extract the downloaded file. The latest Unlocker is having patch for Windows, Linux, Fusion 4.0 on Snow Leopard and Lion and VMware ESXi 5.

Before run the patch, its recommended to take a backup of VMware program folder, because this patch will replace the original files. Right click on install.cmd file and select run as administrator option as shown below. ( or you can start the command prompt as administrator in Windows 7/8/8.1 computer and execute install.cmd from command prompt)

 

The successful patch will return the following screen (and disappears automatically)

That’s it. You patched the VMware workstation 10, 9, in Windows 7/8/8.1 host to run Mac OS X 10.5 and higher guest. Restarting the host computer is not required here.

 

 

Following screenshot are just a example

just to point out, I have no clue what it does but I did notice when installing, when you select your installation drive then hit customize, there is a kext for VMware support.

Also, have you tried finding a pre built machine online?

Specs;
Windows 7 64bit, VMware 10.0.1 build-1379776, OS X 10.9.0 & Unlocker 1.2 or 1.3
 
I had this working nicely for a while with no problems.. all VM's worked- Linux, OSx, etc..
 
Now when starting any VM inside VMWare I get pop up error;
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The following error occurred when starting VMware Workstation. 
 
W32AuthConnectionLaunch: WriteFile filed (code 6).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
This is caused by Unlocker Ver 1.2 or ver 1.3
Specificly vmware-vmx.exe file that the unlocker modifies.
 
I have uninstalled and deleted all folders in Vmware and reinstalled. Everything works except OSX - Just get the spinning boot symbol
. Then run Unlocker (install script) as a Admin in safemode. Restart system and VMware or VMPlayer get the top error message again.
 
When replacing it with original vmware-vmx.exe (before) running unlocker, it works again.
 
 
Anyone else having problems?
