I cannot get any VM to work on 12 in Catalina. I have read of a number of people who have made a comment about broken pipes warning when trying to get 12 to work on Catalina. Whatever the reason, it is unreliable and unusable at present.ĭo think my issues with VMWare 12 on Catalina is due to Pro versus standard version?
There seems to be a lot of reported issues with VMWare 12 at this time and are probably caused by VMWare switching to the Apple APIs (DEXTs) instead of using Kernel Extensions (KEXTs) however I have real evidence of this and it is supposition on my part. I won't be purchasing VMWare 12 at this time. I was trying it out with the free license version prior to purchasing a full commercial license. I am not sure what is causing this, but it makes VMWare 12 useless on Catalina and it does not work on Big Sur either, but for different reasons. Note that I could not get VMWare 12 to work on Catalina, since I kept getting missing pipes messages. I have reverted to Catalina and VMWare 11 and everything works as expected.
I am operating the network interface in bridged mode. I also have 3 other VMs that will connect to the internet but will not talk to the MS update server, my email client in any browser (Chrome/Firefox/Edge) and the Barracuda VPN will not initialize. All VMs are various builds of Windows 10 Pro (18 I believe). As a result this VM will not connect to the internet. However this only occurs on 1 of the VMs. I have exactly the same problem on the released build of Big Sur (11.0.1) and VMWare 12.0.0.
