I have been trying to test iTunes 11 under Mountain Lion in a VM running under Mavericks using the 30-days demo mode of Fusion 6, so that I can make a purchase decision.
Each time I have tried to conduct the necessary tests, iTunes crashes in the Mountain Lion VM.
The crash report shows that it is an Exception Type: EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP).
These crashes have happened after each of three occasions that I've installed Mountain Lion in a brand new VM.
The crashes consistently and reliably happen after I click the Accept button in iTunes' splash screen or after I click any of iTunes' menubar items.
The VM has no third-party apps; I've only created the VM, installed Mountain Lion (on two occasions updated to 10.8.5 using the combo updater; on the third, left it at 10.8.3 as installed), and then installed VMWare Tools.
On two of the three occasions, during the installation process, I chose "Mac OS 10.8" from the list of guest Mac OS versions because "Mac OS 10.8-64 bit" was not one of the options.
On the third occasion, I chose "Mac OS 10.7-64 bit" and renamed the VM to "Mac OS 10.8-64 bit."
I am using Mountain Lion's "InstallEDS" disk image file from the factory installation that came with my MacBook Pro with Retina display (which I subsequently updated to Mavericks).
Can someone please point me in the proper direction for getting this VM prepared so that iTunes launches properly?
Many thanks in advance!
