Hello, hopefully someone with more knowledge on this topic is going to be able to help me.

I tried downloading VMware Fusion software on my MAC but got an error "you cannot use this version of application "vmware fusion" with this version of MAC OS X.

Here is my MAC info:

MAC OS X Version 10.5.8

Processor 2.4GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo

Memory 2 GB 1067 MHZ DDR3

Model Name: MacBook

Model identifier: Macbook 5,1

Memory: 2GB


Thank you very much!

You need to upgrade to Snow Leopard at least:

The minimum system requirements for installing and using VMware Fusion 5 are:

Any 64-*‐bit capable Intel® Mac (Compatible with Core 2 Duo, Xeon, i3, i5, i7 processors or better)
Minimum 2GB of RAM (4GB or more recommended)
750MB free disk space for VMware Fusion and at least 5GB for each virtual machine
Mac OS X 10.6.7 or later; OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion recommended

If you want to use VMWare Fusion 5, then you need at least Mac OS X 10.6.7: http://www.vmware.com/support/produc...uirements.html

That means, you either have to find the Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Upgrade DVD on Amazon or eBay or contact Apple and ask for that DVD, it should cost 29 USD from Apple, but used versions can cost up to 90 USD.
