Vabi Elements on Mac
Vabi Elements is an application specifically developed for the Windows operating system. The application is officially supported on Windows and may not be installed or used directly on macOS or other operating systems.
If you are using an Apple Mac, for example, you may be able to use Vabi Elements through a virtual Windows environment, such as VMware, Parallels Desktop, or an equivalent solution. This allows Windows to run within macOS, after which Vabi Elements can be installed and used within the Windows environment.
Please note that using Vabi Elements through a virtual Windows environment may affect its performance, functionality, and stability. There are also a number of points to consider:
- Make sure that all the required Windows components are available and install them beforehand, e.g. C++ x64 redistributable packages.
- Make sure the virtual environment has enough RAM, CPU and GPU, and is not limited by the system settings.
- For Parallels; Make sure that it has access to the whole system through: System preferences → Security & Privacy → Privacy → Full disk access → Add Parallels by clicking the + sign. Hereafter, install the Parallels tools.
- If you have problems with the Geometry in Parallels, e.g. black surfaces or no display at all, make sure the following bootflag is added to the Virtual Machine configuration: video.gl3 = 0. Go to Configuration → Hardware → Boot order and click on the Advanced settings. Add the bootflag here in the white box.
- For other problems with Parallels you can contact Parallels Support or you can visit the Parallels Forum.
