Hi Yeswanth,

You need to run it on a VM

Visual Studio 2010 is not compatible with any Mac's. and there aren't any software that works in MAc's unless is made by apple. I purchased VMware.

Use VMware Fusion for Mac. VMware.com or use

Copy and paste on your browser...Hope this helps.

Use bootcamp and create a new partition to use for just windows, it will run a lot better then using fusion, thats what I did and VS2010 work fine, I have the new iMAC, in fact Windows 7 runs a ton better on the iMAC then it did on the same pc hardware??? Plus bootcamp is a free apple product, just download the new version 3.0 so you can get the win7 drivers

Ferry, 

I have the same question as well. I have already downloaded the VMware Fusion 4 30 day trial. When I click the icon, my macbook say that I cannot use VMware fusion with this mac os x version. what should I do?...

Hi daziaboomoo, please refer to http://www.vmware.com/support/product-support/fusion/faq/requirements.html and make sure your Mac OS X version is supported.

Alternatively, you can follow Twier's solution to install Windows on bootcamp which is two posts above yours, thanks!

Hmm. Untrue. You don't really think that Apple made every piece of software that runs on a Mac, do you?


Saturday, November 23, 2013 6:09 PM
