Create MacOS High Sierra VM on VMware Fusion 8.5.10

Create MacOS High Sierra VM on VMware Fusion 8.5.10 Creating macOS High Sierra on Mac mini using VMware Fusion 8.5.10 in 2022 was not very straightforward. From VMware documentation this should been an easy drag and drop operation using VMware Fusion 12 but not with VMware Fusion 8. Anyway, this is how I got it working. First of, below is the environment: Host: Mac mini (Late 2014) with 16GB memory Host OS: maçOS Mojave VMware Fusion: 8.5.10 Below are the steps to create the VM: On the host, visit https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211683 Look for macOS High Sierra, I used this link - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/macos-high-sierra/id1246284741?mt=12 This opens the App Store. Download the High Sierra but don’t install it Once downloaded it will be available in /Applications/Install macOS High Sierra.app Clone or download a zip copy of the script that creates dmg file from an app file.The repo is located here - https://github.com/rtrouton/create_macos_vm
