run Mavericks desktop under Snow Leopard?

Hi,

I have Fusion 3.1.3 running on my MacBook Pro under OS X 10.6.8. I am reluctant to take Apple's free upgrade to Mavericks because I am perfectly happy with my OS and I don't want to suddenly have a whole bunch of expensive music software upgrades to perform. But I need to do a little testing of some sw under Mavericks. So I thought I'd create a VM using my OSX 10.6.8 install disk that came with my MacBook and then let Apple upgrade the VM to Mavericks. But Fusion only sort of recognizes the DVD, it seems - it knows it is an OS X install disk, but it only gives me server versions of the OS to choose from in the dropdown (and, if I choose one and go forward, the VM won't boot).

 

So, my question is, how to I get a Mavericks desktop OS on a VM running on a Snow Leopard host? I don't mind paying to upgrade Fusion if that is a solution path, I just don't want to upgrade if it isn't going to get me where I need to go.

 

Thanks for any advice you can offer,

Warren
