initially after installing VMware Tools everything worked well, then I started up the Monterey VM a day or two later and the performance was grinding to a halt (very slow, problems with the cursor & trackpad etc). Running 16.2.2 on i5 10th gen with 2×2 processors & 8GB RAM for the VM, it was choking the whole system. I reinstalled VMware Tools multiple times but it didn’t help, then uninstalled & reinstalled VMware Tools multiple times with different version of VMware Tools (I had initially made a Catalina VM and then updated to Monterey through macOS, so I can rule out problems related to the iso). Uninstalling VMware Tools resolved most of the performance issues, the operation is still less than smooth but at least usable.

In reply to Noam Tirosh. Never mind I fixed it by pressing "eject" on the disc that is on the Mac desktop, The resulotion iis working for me now, but the whole computer is still a bit laggy, like its always on 20hz, really weird since i gave it 16 RAM and 4 cores. does anyone know why?

When I try to do step 1 (Right-click on macOS Monterey Tab/Window then click Install VMware Tools.) it gives me this error:

“This operation cannot proceed because your Mac OS guest is using the CD/DVD.

Dismiss this message, eject the disc from inside the guest, and retry this operation.”

can anyone help me?

Can anyone please share the Sha-256 of an working mas os 12 iso file downloaded from mediafire or the above mentioned website.

I have downloaded the file however just wanted to check whether it is correct or not! Cause installation is not working properly. After less than a minute remaining it gets stuck.

So. Please kindly share the sha 256 checksum values.

Thanks in advance.

By the way thanks for wikigain too.

I did the steps, after the installation when you reboot the machine, OS does not load and gets stuck on the black screen.
After many searches, I realized that you need to activate the Autologin immediately after installation, otherwise, unfortunately, you need to reinstall the macOS!
