Upgrade vmware fusion from dmg

Verify that all of your virtual machines are shut down and that Fusion is not running.

Procedure

I somehow got hold of the Install macOS Beta.app, so instead of doing the upgrade via the beta profile, I created a.dmg file for my VMware Fusion and used it to create a virtual machine from scratch. Now, regarding the disk size – I’ve put 50 GB instead of the default 40. Versions not listed on the IS&T Fusion page are available through the links below. Locate and open the downloaded file named 'VMware-Fusion-x.x.x-xxxx.dmg'. A disk image named 'VMware Fusion' should now be mounted in OS X. Double-click on the VMware Fusion icon to begin the installation process.
