Installation Guide

1. Download lazy install version .cdr  [ceremony] U_macOS S10.12.5 xiaoman double the official version (16f73) .dmg original + cdr lazy version coming! - Vision Forum - Microsoft Geek Community

Baidu cloud download very slow, even with aria2.
After the last way to use "unlimited trial acceleration", the emergence of the trial, crack, then pause downloads and re-start the download speed can be upgraded.
If you do not pause before you start, I do not know why the rate can not rise to full speed.
Download half the time, to see the speed reduced from 4MB / s after 3.6MB / S, egg pain and click on the pause button. When the results start again, speed is always at 10KB / s up. Embarrassing
re-download another file download speeds of new files can soar normal to full speed. Jiong

2. Refer to the tutorial step by step installation

• VMware 12 installation 10.12 macOS S - Jane books

3. Vmware Tools installation did not respond?

Originally seen restart after installing or 1024 * 768 resolution is very small. That did not succeed,
the result when the simulator to full screen, the resolution actually can increase the normal.
And now the memory of 128MB has risen from the original 3MB. So it should come into force in.

• The Virtual Machine: View - automatically resized to "automatically adapt to the client"
• The Virtual Machine: View - automatically resize remove the tick "automatically adapt window" (can not be removed, because Mac was impossible to change the resolution)

4.VMDK file size has been growing, narrow theoretical approach can streamline thin?

The reason why large VMDK files, because the guest is always space without releasing system, which they do not free up space.
VM disk created by default are not recognized as SSD hard disk (SSD hard drive is a real machine).

Note: For OS X Lion v10.7 or later and SSD drive, "Disk Utility" in the "Secure Erase" and "Erasing Free Space" is not available.

Theoretical program:

1. Filling the remaining space with 0
2. Shut down and then use the VM disk compression
