Go pet the cat, feed the fish or grab a coffee. This should then give you the normal boot progress screen: macOS Catalina, the real install in progress Which is followed up by this: macOS reboot on install – boot manager On reboot however you’ll be getting this: macOS Catalina – first reboot, now what’s that? You are now starting with the normal setup and the VM is getting installed. Once you are booting, you should get the familiar language selection: language selection boot dialogĪnd you’ll be booted into the recovery menu: macOS recovery menu, select InstallĬlick “Install macOS” and continue.

As it turns out, the main trick is to start from a new VM, not upgrade an existing one. I tried that, but my VM no longer booted. Then user bogdam reported he could get passed this by changing the virtual machine hardware to Windows 10. If you then try to reboot it in verbose mode, so that you can see what happens, you’ll get the following screen. Basically if you run the upgrade then your VM will hang on reboot. This thread describes the problems you bump into if you try to upgrade a macOS Mojave VM to the new beta macOS Catalina. Credit for figuring out how-to do this goes to vmtn users Bogdam and intel008 as they are the ones who posted the resolution in the following thread at VMTN: macOS Catalina VMs do not run in VMware Fusion 11.1.0 Here’s a quick note on how-to setup a macOS catalina VM on VMware Fusion 11. Update: This is no longer an issue with Fusion 11.5
