Answer 6

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.

 

Answer 7

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

Answer 8

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?... 

Answer 10

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!
