I'm not sure it's accurate to say it won't install/activate on virtualized hardware. It's rather that virtualized instances often doesn't report all hardware accurately/correctly, particularly if you're using a 3rd party EFI layer. For what it's worth, 4.0.3 installs and activates on VMWare 7.x on PC if you use Donk's boot ISO for EFI (google it) but the popular darwin_snow.iso is incomplete and is enough to boot OSX, but not enough to allow MT to activate.
Of course, I didn't say this, and I don't condone it, nor run it. A bearded 400 pound lemur told me. -Oisin On Wed, Jun 22, 2011 at 6:03 PM, rnendel <[email protected]> wrote: > Can you give the entire message, there's probably more. > > Although I own a mini, I wanted to install Mono on a VM so I could have > multiple platform dev environments on my workhorse laptop.
