Launching Problem

Post by Curseafix »

So, I'm trying to install MacOs High Sierra 10.13 on the 6.1 version of VBox.
I've checked out tons of guides that all say the same thing, equating to me doing the same thing. However, I get the same result every time I try.
Before the screenshots, I'm going to go ahead and say that YES, virtualization is turned on.
These are the scripts I ran in ADMIN CMD:

cd "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox"

VBoxManage modifyvm "High Sierra" --cpuidset 00000001 000306a9 04100800 7fbae3ff bfebfbff

VBoxManage setextradata "High Sierra" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemProduct" "MacBookPro11,3"

VBoxManage setextradata "High Sierra" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemVersion" "1.0"

VBoxManage setextradata "High Sierra" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiBoardProduct" "Mac-2BD1B31983FE1663"

[...]

VBoxManage setextradata "High Sierra" "VBoxInternal/Devices/smc/0/Config/GetKeyFromRealSMC" 1

From your description and screenshots, you appear to be attempting to install a MacOS on non-Apple Hardware by trying to convince the MacOS Installer otherwise. If this is accurate then see the sticky post at the top of this forum: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=92649

If this is not the case then please explain what your hardware set-up is and why you think you need to change the 'identity' of the computer to mimic a specific Apple Model?

I’m trying to install High Sierra on my W10 using VBox. I’ll check out the sticky.

That’s just what every guide I’ve seen has had. Some variation of a MacBook.

Windows host OS running a Mac guest is only allowed if the physical computer is real Mac hardware, per the sticky posted by MultiOS.

If you really do have a Mac computer, please start a new topic in the Mac Guests subform, with a zipped guest vbox.log, posted like you did the screenshot, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.
