VIRTUALBOX MACOS INSTALL HOW TO

You can still download it here.įurthermore, after some testing, it appears that only INTEL based host systems work for these instructions. The version of VirtualBox which was used for this article and did work at the time with these instructions is VirtualBox-4.1.18-78361-Win. I can confirm that these instructions DO NOT work using the current version of VirtualBox 4.3.8, nor do they work with any recent (2013/2014) released update version of VirtualBox. –UPDATE– A lot of you have been asking me about this article and stating that the instructions don’t work.

Things can get complicated when dealing with multiple operating system platforms. More and more frequently I find myself assisting customers with business analysis issues in Mac shops.
