About This File
This is the current version of VMware Tools for OS X / macOS from the VMware CDS repository for Fusion 11.5.0
VMware are no longer including the ISO images as separate 'packages' in the CDS respository as of Fusion 11.5.0, instead the ISO images are included as part of the 'core' download which is 522 MB.
It is not possible to download the com.vmware.fusion.zip.tar due to upload limits.
However, I have extracted the darwin.iso and darwinPre15.iso from the 'core' and uploaded to this thread.
If you prefer to download the 'core' tar file and extract the ISO's they are located in the following directory in the tar file:

Ive updated to macOS Sierra on VMware Workstation v12.5. Ive installed the latest VMware Tools darwin.iso v8.5.0 but Im still unable to change my resolution from 1024x768. I searched the forum and cant seem to find anyone having this issue so Im wondering if anyone has any ideas on what I can che. VMware Tools packages for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and OS X. File size: 169.59 MB. File type: tar.gz. Legacy VMware Tools packages for Windows and Netware OS. File size: 11.05 MB. VMware Tools for virtualized Catalina. When do you plan to fix the VMware Tools for virtualized 10.14 and 10.15 macOS versions? I do virtualize these OS's on my Mac and use them for work, but using them in default 1024x768px resolution is very frustrating. Many thanks in advance.
Please note: In the latest VMwareGfx.kext from Fusion 8.5.5 onwards VMware have discontinued the 2D-Acceleration code, and graphics performance is better now, thanks to Zenith432 for the update.
