Fusion 6 aero support not working. Installing Windows 7 on Fusion Version 5. Now I can’t access the old VM’s from there either. In short, I got screwed. I am also disappointed with Fusion 12 as it seems there are many bugs – I’m having trouble just booting iso image from a cd – seems there is no way to prevent doing a network install when choosing custom vm.
One thing I can suggest that may help you is to manually uninstall all old versions of Fusion and support files there’s an article here on VMware knowledge base telling where to find old support files to manually delete. Then reinstall fusion 12 from the latest Actually attempted that. Followed the step by step. It would appear that 12 changed the file format and now it is not backward compatible. As I said I’m screwed.
All is not necessarily lost. There is a good chance that you can still recover the data from the vmdisk. A bit of googling reveals several possible avenues including building a new VM and attaching the old disk to it or using a recovery tool or even trying to export your non-functioning vm to open virtualization format and then importing that to one of the other virtualization solutions virtualbox or parallels.
I can’t say I have experience with recovering a vmdisk but I have successfully moved a Vmware machine to virtualbox before. Hopefully you have a backup of your original vm which eliminate some unknowns. If not, before doing anymore, I strongly advise you backup your vm’s in their current state so that you have a known starting point to work from if you encounter more trouble. Good luck. One other thing – in the past, after upgrading Fusion from one version to the next, I’ve found that sometimes something in the Virtual Machine Library configuration becomes corrupted and launching a vm from the Virtual Machine Library fails.
But when I used the Finder to locate the vm and then double click it to open it from the Finder, it will open without problem and then that seems to fix the problem in the Virtual Machine Library. This doesn’t sound like the problem you’re experiencing but on the off-chance it’s related I thought I’d mention it. Good Luck. VMware Fusion 7 doesn’t work on any of the recent macOS versions. IIRC then Mojave and later is all unsupported and while it might be able to get it to work on Mojave, getting that back to work after uninstalling it are minimal.
VMware Fusion 12 has a minimum version of macOS Apple has changed too much and as a result VMware no longer uses their own hypervisor anymore, but instead has to use apple’s own hypervisor.
If I am understanding you correctly then you can boot your old VM still and the only problem is that the mouse isn’t working. You also mentioned changing things in the. None of that is required and I doubt it does you any good.
