And conversely, use the method you linked to in the first post to make an iso and try to use that to install yosemite into parallels and it doesn't work. But burn it to dvd expecting to get a bootable dvd capable of installing yosemite - and all you get is a coaster. I used parallels desktop to make a dmg of the yosemite installer from which I could then install yosemite into parallels desktop. To make an iso file which can be burnt onto a dvd such that you could boot up the el capitan installer from the dvd and install el capitan. To make an iso file capable of installing el capitan into vmware fusion.Ģ. There is an underlying problem with this whole thread. I'd love to see the experts out there tweak it for El Capitan When I boot to the created ISO image, it goes into the EFI shell menu, as if the ISO image weren't bootable.
