Ah, I didn’t realize one of our contributors here worked at VMWare. Well, all the more reason to use it. I’ve been for years, and have never seen a reason to switch.

I didn’t even know that dragging the installer app there worked. I think what I did was go to File -> New, choose “Install from disc or image”, and choose the InstallESD.dmg file that’s inside the Mountain Lion installer (I think it was still bootable back then; if not, I probably made a bootable USB stick and booted it from that).

Does Xcode 7 still support debugserver? I can’t remember if that’s been dropped or not. If it hasn’t, you should probably be able to use that, since the virtual machine has access to the network.
