Withhelp from Daniel I was not able to find the solution although it took me a bit to find the right area. I have written up the process in detail below to help others resolve this issue. I found this problem often occurs when you do not allow this option during the VMWare installation or the dialog requesting this during the installation is no longer available (as was my case).

If you look to the right of this message. you will see a button marked Allow. Click the button and the message and the button disappear. Note you do not need to "unlock" elevated changing using the lock icon at the bottom for this to work.


It appears that after a while, you'll exhaust your options and you'll come across this once again after you've allowed the software in preferences, after you've run sudo spctl --master-disable and after everything you've tried that you've found on the internet. That's what's happened to me.


Quick background: I'm a developer that works on hybrid projects and the .NET stack running a windows machine in my mac, so my setup is more intensive and requires Visual Studio, git, npm, node, all that stuff installed on the vm os system as well as my mac system. My mac system version as of this writing: Mojave 10.14.5 (18F132), Fusion pro 10.


I'm not sure what the technical issues are for the bug but I know it has something to do with accessibility, and also that VMWare says the ball is in Mac's court to fix it. I know that it triggers when I suspend my vm on my host and unplug my monitors at work and plug in new monitors at home then go to open it back up again. It will glitch and cause this error and there's nothing I can do about it except completely uninstall and reinstall VMWare fusion with restarts, sometimes multiple times and can take up to at least an hour to fix.


I dealt with this for the last 6 months or so by having to completely uninstall/restart/install the application and it's been brutal. I put in a ticket to VMWare to address it a while ago, that's why I know they think it's Mac's job to fix it. They said to me they were in communication with Mac in regards to this issue, that it's already a known issue at this time. The last mac update appears to have mitigated the issue some, but I still ran into this issue when I unplugged a monitor WHILE VmWare fusion was suspending so it still exists.


For those of you who may be at your wits end, a reinstall is your only option, and that includes a full restart and may include having to be hooked up to the monitors and other peripherals that you last had your vm working on if you frequently move your computer around (like in my case a macbook pro from home to work). Yes, it's that strange. Below is my todo list:


Hope this helps. If for some reason this doesn't work, make sure you are at the last place your vm worked with whatever peripherals you had plugged into your mac on again. That might sound strange but this low level bug issue is a strange and painful bug so don't take any chances having to uninstall/reinstall/restart multiple times before you finally get it working again.


It appears that the Catalina update for MacOS fixes the issue. Whenever I boot up my VM, it now asks twice if I want use the software and it works every time. I haven't come across this issue since the update and I've been using it everyday. The update is still pretty fresh, only a couple weeks old so if I run into the issue again, I'll update this thread. So far though, no problems.


VMware Fusion Pro 10 will not run on imacs built before 2011, that was the issue I had with the new Fusion 10. I was able to downgrade and install Fusion 8 on my imac and it ran great. VMware wont give any money back when you downgrade though.


I have created VMware Fusion 11.5.1.pkg file by using Composer/Package tool. while I tried to install it in new Mac installed successfully when opening the VMware Fusion getting attached error. if I use the same package for upgrade the VMware fusion from older version to new version(11.5.1) it works.


There are a handful of VMware Fusion recipes that can automatically download and build a deployable VMware Fusion installer for you, and even JSS recipes that will automatically upload those installers to your JSS.


@shrisivakumaran You really should follow @Emily's advice above on AutoPkg (and the AutoPkgr GUI wrapper for it) as it will allow you to fully automate the creation and uploading of a VMware Fusion package, as well as pretty much any other application, to your JSS.


If we create a package using Composer this doesn't work. This is working for .mpkg file, but when we copy the mpkg file to JSS server using Jamf Admin the file converting to zip file automatically. @jhamil50 @mbezzo @maurits can you share how you created pkg file and uploaded to JSS server for self service installation.

VMWare updated their instruction for building a Mass Deployment package. Jun 2020. this worked for us on 12.0 but for some reason i cannot get it to work for 12.1. :( [ Not allowed to use Auto pkg ... ] so have to figure out how to make this work
