I just got my shiny new Snow Leopard Server 10.6.3 DVD from Apple (yes, it was $19.99 and I had to telephone, the chat operator at the online apple store didn't know about it).
I downloaded the trial version of vmware fusion 5.0.2 and tried to install. It always stops bringing up a screen saying:
INSTALL FAILED
Mac OS X could not be installed on your computer
The Installer could not copy the necessary support files.
Click Restart to restart your computer and try installing again.
I've tried several times. I thought perhaps something from my old VMware Fusion 2 installation was creating problems, so I followed the instructions at knowledge base article 1017838 to uninstall everything. I deleted the app, even my old virtual machines. The first time I did that I must have missed something, because when I tried to install fusion 5 again it already knew my trial license key. So I went through the whole uninstall-reinstall procedure 2 more times, restarting between each of course.
Has anyway successfully installed snow leopard server on fusion 5?
Hints appreciated. I need this installation for an old app that requires rosetta and this kludge seems to be the only way I can get it.
By the way my host is a Macbook 5,1 running Mountain Lion. 8 GB ram, 100 GB free disk space.
thank you.
