Installing OS X 10.11 Beta in a VM

Is there a way to install the OSX 10.11 Beta in a VM?


I'm using VMware Fusion.

I wasn't able to install into a new VM in Fusion, however upgrading a 10.10 VM seems to work just fine.

I haven't tried a fresh install, but like kitzy, I was able to upgrade a 10.10 VM to 10.11.


ESXi, 5.5.0, 2456374 (ESXi55u2-p03) on a MacPro6,1

This tool will build an installer .dmg (with option for .iso) which can be used with VMware Fusion or VMware ESXi:


https :// github .com/ rtrouton/ create_os_x_vm_install_dmg

I was able to do the upgrade to 10.11 video the upgrade method, but it says OS X Yosemite in about my mac at first, closed the window re-opened it and now it says el-capitan!. Onword to start my fiddling around and see what breaks.


Edit:

Oh i'm using

Macbook Pro Mid-2014 running VMWare Fusion 7.1.1 (Professional Version 7.1.1)

Thanks. I DL'd Yosemite and installed it fine as Fusion 7.1.1 guest. Once done, I was able to upgrade to El Capitan.
