How to Install OS X Lion 10.7 on VMware Workstation 8 For Windows 7

How to Install MAC OS X Snow Leopard in VMware Workstation 8

Installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard in VirtualBox 4.1.4 Windows 7

Note: We don’t encourage downloading Apple software via file-sharing / torrent sites and run it in an virtualized environment under Windows. This guide is for informational purposes only. If you like OS X Lion, Get a Mac. It’s against the EULA for Mac OS X to run the OS in a virtual machine. The EULA for Mac OS X Server and Mac OS X Server/Client 10.7 allows you to run the OS in a virtual machine, but only inside OS X on an Apple hardware.

This method is completely for testing and learning purpose.

[Guide] A fatal error occurred while trying to Sysprep the machine

  5:53 AM    Santosh

Today While working on System Preparation Tool (Sysprep) in Windows 7, I received the following error message:

A fatal error occurred while trying to Sysprep the machine.



After spending quite time I found the soution for the error. And the solution is,


1. Go to Sysprerp folder i.e.  c:\windows\system32\sysprep\Partner


2. Then move or delete all contents of the Partner folder to another folder for backup purpose.


3. Now run the sysprep.exe


For few user's sysprerp starts by stopping  mediaplayer process running and by uninstalling & installing mstdc. For me everything without success but above steps works 100%.
