Hey Austin, Check your Setting again and use 50-60% of Ram and CPU.
Same problem here. I got HS installed and running properly in VMware Workstation 12.5.7, thumbs up. The exactly same VM, copied over 1:1, will freeze at the Apple logo on different hardware (Dual CPU XEON based HP Workstation with 8 Cores and 16GB RAM). Seems there is a dependency with the underlying hardware. On another machine the VM won’t boot properly (crash after approx. 10% progress bar) unless I remove the USB device from the VM, which is pointless, since this will kill keyboard and mouse support in the VM. High Sierra will, however, boot right to the login screen.
i got error

Great work it’s done as descirbe
Worked for me with latest Workstation Pro (build 7528167) under Linux. Note however that it did not work with VMWare Player for me (macOS crashes during boot).
“3. Yes, you’re right, select Apple Mac OS X and OS version then hit Next.”
No, there is no “Apple mac os X
The latest version of VMWare Workstation/Player won’t accept the Tools, win-install, so it fails. No Mac shows up in the setup.
That’s VMWorkstation/Player V 9.0.4-build 1945795
Works great! Thanks for doing all the work!
But, I have a question.

all right.
I don’t know how to turn a file from .iso format to .vmdk format. When I use Winrar tool for conversion, I cannot find the option to convert the file to .vmdk. I also tried 7-zip but I am not able to do the conversion with it either. Please explain to me how to convert the operating system file to .vmdk format. Thanks.
You don’t convert iso to vmdk. The guide here is for setting up the virtual machine using a pre-made virtual disk. Download the vmdk file from the link provided.

Hello,
At the end of step 4 when I add the .vmdk file it gives me this error:
The selected virtual disk is incompatible with this Workstation 12.x virtual machine. Adding this disk would make this virtual machine incompatible with older VMware products.
I appreciate if you help me.

Just followed listed information…
Thanks for sharing..
Nice
Use VMware Workstation pro 15 and Macos Hight Sierra installed on Windows 7 64bit.
When the installation is clicked on Power on this virtual machine is presented
first the window of VMware and then the one with Apple’s apple and the progressive bar that starts to scroll.
However, the VNware window is immediately reintroduced and again with the Apple apple again
the progressive bar starts again from zero and the cycle continues to repeat without reaching the conclusion. Where should action be taken to remedy the problem or the normal practice of installing Macos?
For Those Getting a reboot during the Apple logo in a loop, you may want to try masking the CPUID by editing the VM .vmx file.
Add there lines.
cpuid.1.eax = “00000000000000110100011010101001”
cpuid.1.edx = “10111111111010111111101111111011”
Worked like a dream on my install.
Basically the OS install sees the Proc ID and knows it isn’t Mac hadware and invokes a kernal panic and shuts down then VMware restarts the install, and panic again and thus the loop.
If it doesn’t work for yours google the code and you’ll find there are a bunch of other lines you can use to try to mask the CPU ID.
Good luck to all.
