VMware then opens a window saying "No operating system was found." I get the same error when trying Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, and I haven't yet tried other OS versions. I go to File -> New, click "Install from disc or image," select the corresponding InstallMacOSX.dmg disk image file, selecting the specific OS version (I tried selecting the 32-bit and 64-bit versions in separate attempts since I'm not sure which the linked installer is) and both times when the instance reboots, it says it couldn't find a hard drive or CD-ROM drive ("No compatible bootloader found" for each one). I tried installing Mac OS X 10.7 Lion downloaded from Apple's website here (I own the original DVD as well, but don't have an optical drive), yet I can't seem to install it. I'm using the free VMware Fusion Player license (application version 12.1.2 running on a 2020 Intel Mac running macOS 10.15.7).


I hope I'm posting in the right sub-forum.
