Catalina install hangs on macOS Utilities screen

[hoytk]

I'm running Fusion 11.5 (14634996) with Catalina build from the App store.

The install process hangs when I select 'Install macOS' and press Continue.  I've let it sit overnight so I'm pretty sure it's not doing anything.

The VM is set for macOS 10.15.  Based upon review of other posts... the mouse and keyboard are set to the macOS profile.

The last few lines from the install log are attached.

Any help getting this installed would be appreciated

Hi, Could you help to check if your installer is valid by the following command:

"cd"ing into the .app bundle, and running:

  find . -path '*.framework/Versions/Current' -type d

It should produce no output at all.  If it produces output, your copy of the installer .app is broken and will not be usable.

It finds a lot of stuff.

How can the install I downloaded from Apple be broken like this?  Anyway, I'll download again.

Install macOS Catalina.app khoyt$   find . -path '*.framework/Versions/Current' -type d

[JohnPuterhead]

almost the same issue here.

I'm trying to create/use a virtual machine that runs Mojave 10.14 so I can run 32-bit apps while also upgrading my host to Catalina.

Using Fusion Version 11.5.1 (15018442) on host Mojave 10.14.6

except

"cd"ing into the .app bundle, and running:

  find . -path '*.framework/Versions/Current' -type d

yields no output

[JohnPuterhead]

ok, so I simply took the re-install option and I'm up and running. So weird.

[Sarnie75]

Same issue here, what is 're-install option'?

[frmo76]

Hi everybody,

Same issue. Any help getting this solved ?

PS : I do not have a TimeMachine backup and I need to install a Catalina from scratch.
