Guys developing Clover made a change to Clover’s directory structure and somehow forgot to inform people. In my opinion, mentioning it in a forum post is not enough.

• Clover Efi Bootloader Catalina
• Clover Efi Bootloader V2.5k 5104 For Macos 10.13

Download and unzip 'EFICloverr5101 for VMware.zip'. Mount Clover-v2.5k-5101-X64.iso by double clicking on it. Mount your VM's EFI System Partition eg in terminal sudo diskutil mount disk0s1 3. Copy EFI folder from step 1 into the EFI partition 4. Shutdown the VM, add bios.bootDelay = '3000' to your VM's vmx file 5.

UPDATE: It seems like they finally implemented some sort of automatic migration in latest version (rev. 5097) of Clover installer although they specifically said no migration will be done in the forum post.

Updating Clover bootloader

CAUTION: Always have bootable USB drive (RECOVERY) with working CLOVER installation ready in case something fails!
