Will this utility create a (dmg) file that VMware Fusion can open and run a macOS High Sierra VM? I have not tried this utility, but am willing to try it - however I would much prefer to hear from someone who has used it successfully before I do.

I need to create a VM for macOS High Sierra to run with VMware Fusion.
