Error on GNS3 with Mac M2 Chip

[Christopherhausner]

I get this error when trying to connect

Error while saving settings: GNS3VM: Error while executing VMware command: vmrun has returned an error: unknown

Try to run '/Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmrun' -T fusion checkToolsState '/Users/chrishausner/Virtual Machines.localized/GNS3 ARM.vmwarevm/GNS3 ARM.vmx' in a terminal to see more details.
And make sure GNS3 and VMware run under the same user.

I went in and I can find the files they mention. Any ideas?

If "/Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmrun" does not exist, this sounds like an issue with WMware, not GNS3.

From a terminal, what is the output of: ls -al /Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/

Also as a side note, GNS3 is not really supported on Apple Silicon. Your mileage may vary.

Sorry for the delayed response. Once I add '' around the directory it works. I think the issue is that GNS3 is trying to find it without '' around it which it sees the space in (VMware fusion) and then doesn't work. How can I get around this? or is that not the issue?

Any update?
