Hang in Fusion with SMBIOS.reflectHost = "TRUE"

Post by DanaGoyette »

Under VMWare Fusion 8.1.1, I have my Boot Camp vmx file set with SMBIOS.reflectHost = "TRUE" (though I don't remember why). With this option set, Macs Fan Control tries to start, but gets stuck, eating 100% of one CPU core. The program should probably just silently exit, instead.

If I try to "copy diagnostic info", it hangs; upon exit, I get an error message:
Unable to terminate the app in the right way,
please contact support for assistance and resolving the problem.
Here's some various WMI info:
