How to get XCode 9 to load on MacOS 10.12 running within VMWare Pro with legal license paid for.

I have macOS 10.12 Sierra installed on VMWare workstation pro.  MACos seems to work well.   Does anyone know how I can get XCode 9 to load. 

It says sorry, you need to have OS 10.12.

Which I seem to have ok, but on VMWare 12.5 (? well the latest version as of 9/23/2017 = today's download) XCode won't load.

Got Ideas ?

Pls LMK,  thanks,  Ken in Seattle

Hello,

Welcome at the VMware communities forum.

Unfortunately Apple does not allow you to run a virtual macOS or OS X on non-Apple branded hardware.

Since this violates Apple's EULA (and as such the VMware Community Terms of Use), any issues you have with trying to run macOS or OS X using VMware Workstation or VMware Workstation Player cannot be discussed at this forum.

You'll need to have apple hardware and use a product like VMware Fusion or VMware ESXi and run a virtual copy of macOS / OS X on that in order for us to be able to help you.

Hope you understand,
