      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Apple sometimes downloads a 'stub' version of the installer.&amp;nbsp; Try deleting it and downloading again from the Apple Mac App store.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I was finally able to get it to work. Looks like the trick to installing High Sierra in VMWare Fusion is to create a High Sierra installation image file as follows:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Create a sparse disk image:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;hdiutil create -o HighSierra -size 8G -layout SPUD -fs HFS+J -type SPARSE&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Then mount it:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;hdiutil attach HighSierra.sparseimage -noverify -mountpoint /Volumes/install_build&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Run the create install media program:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/install_build&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Detach Apple's high Sierra volume:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;TABLE&gt;&lt;TBODY&gt;&lt;TR&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;/TBODY&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt;&lt;P&gt;hdiutil detach /Volumes/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra/&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;hdiutil convert HighSierra.sparseimage -format UDZO -o HighSierra.dmg&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Then use VMWare Fusion&amp;nbsp; to create a new disk image using HighSierra.dmg you just created.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Below are the easy steps which helps ( It worked for me ) :&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;- Download the " Install macOS High Sierra" or "Install macOS Mojave" from App Store&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;- Drag it from application folder to the desktop&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;- Go to VMware Fusion &amp;gt; File &amp;gt; New &amp;gt; Install from disc or image &amp;gt; Continue&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;- Drag the "Install macOS High Sierra" or "Install macOS Mojave" to the box or select "Use another disc image" and select the installer file from desktop&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;- Continue the installation&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Regards,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Anupam&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
