I would like to install OS X Yosemite in VMware Fusion 7.0.

If I select the DMG file my university is providing, VMware is unable to boot from the DMG file.

The image is a compressed DMG.

Properties:
    Encrypted: false
    Kernel Compatible: true
    Checksummed: true
    Software License Agreement: false
    Partitioned: false
    Compressed: true

Is there a way to make VMware Fusion boot from a compressed DMG?

I tried to convert to DMG to "uncompressed" or ISO with no improvement. I always get:

EFI VMware Virtual IDE CDROM Drive (IDE 1.0) ... unsuccessful

In the WMware log file I only see:

2015-08-12T09:44:42.586+01:00| vcpu-0| I120: CDROM: Connecting sata0:1 to '/Users/corti/Downloads/Yosemite (uncompressed).dmg'. type=2 remote=0
