Windows has a packaged version of the Python script using PyInstaller, and so does not Python interpreter and should work without requiring any additional software. Most Linux distros, ESXi and OS X ship with a compatible There are some challenges to write the code as ESXi has a subset of Python 2.7 whichĬonstrains some modules that can be used. The code is now Python as it makes the Unlocker easier to run and maintain on ESXi. In all cases make sure VMware is not running, and any background guests have Message on those systems telling you that it will not be patched.
