Logitech have released a 64-bit beta version of their MyHarmony software. However, all new hub-based remotes will not be supported. For people who have those remotes, Catalina is not going to be supported.

Thanks - that's exactly what I did, but it was not effective. I was not able to get the prompt. The download was 11.1.1. I used the link on the VMWare website, perhaps there is a link somewhere which will instead download 11.1.0, but I could not find it. The good news is that I was able to get Parallels v15 to work and also succeeded in migrating a copy of my VMWare Fusion virtual engine. So I am back in business.
Now that there is a newer beta (which I have installed), I will try VMWare Fusion again.
Thanks, it will be interesting to see how it behaves with the latest Catalina beta. I will update the thread either way.

I tried the Fusion I had (11.1.1) with the latest Catalina Beta and had the same problem - black screen, would not accept any kind of input. So I then uninstalled it and found 11.1.0. Just as you said, I was prompted to approve screen recording, which I did. That got me a little further... It now gets as far as the login screen, complete with graphic. However, it still will not accept any kind of input. There's not even an entry window for credentials. I tried resetting from the menu, which put me into a recovery screen (which also accepted no input). I've restarted and get stuck at the same place.
The next thing I will do is to upgrade it to 11.1.1, to see if that makes any difference. Should be fun.

After the issues with 11.1.0 (got further with the install, but it still would not accept input), I tried updating it to 11.1.1. Not only did it not work, but the update failed so spectacularly that Fusion removed itself. There is no trace of VMWare Fusion (other than the Virtual Engine) anywhere in my system. It has vanished. Additionally, the permissions change I entered to approve screen recording has also disappeared. The bottom line is that Fusion is still problematic.
The one remaining option I've yet to try is to download and install 11.1.0 again, enable screen recording, and then downgrade to 10.1.6. Perhaps that will work. If not, then I'm giving up and sticking with Parallels.
The final attempt was not a charm.
I tried to again install 11.1.0, enable screen recording (done easily) and then remove 11 and install 10. All of that worked up to the point where I was at the login screen which again did not accept any kind of input. So that's it for now, I'm done trying - back to Parallels (which is working well, I just object to having to pay $50 for an upgrade to v15, when I had upgraded only 4 months ago).
When trying to launch Bitdefender Free Virus Scanner I get the following error.:
The operation couldn’t be completed. (Couldn't start the services error -1.)
I have tried to reinstall but to no avail. Google turns up nothing here or at the bitdefender website. Problem began just after upgrading to latest public beta (my first use of Catalina, I had not installed the previous betas).
Any suggestions?

VMware Fusion will get a free update to version 11.5 which will support Catalina as both host and client. https://blogs.vmware.com/teamfusion/2019/08/vmworld-2019-fusion-and-workstation-announcements.html
So don't rush into the arm of Parallels if you don't want/need to.

I was just reading this and was going to try it, and surprisingly it worked out of the box now. It looks like the August release of Acrobat DC is now fully 64-bit! https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/whats-new.html
It’s an on-demand antivirus. Nothing in the background. I run it every week or so. Or used to...
I don't use Acrobat DC and I didn't test it, but the same dmg seems to be available for download here https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-dc-downloads.html
No dice for two point hospital, loads for a long time and silently quits getting to the loading screen
Solution for installing Java for OS X 2017-001 in Catalina https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/java-6-se-legacy-version-for-catalina.2195954/
LibreOffice 6.3.0 works in beta 7, Java not required.
10.15 will be on hold for me ... webex clients, eyetv (in beta), and brothers print/scan/fax utilities all 32bit ... sure i could run them in a VM but i'll just hold out for 6-8 months to see what shakes out
Has anyone already tried running Acrobat Standard/Professional 2015 and 2017? I'm still running 9.5.5 on High Sierra but will have to upgrade to a newer version should I ever update my Macs to 10.15. I'm not interested in Acrobat DC since I don't use it often enough to justify a subscription.

Were you able to set it up for wireless scanning? I can now setup the IX500 but wireless scanning keeps failing.
The released version of DuetDisplay was not working for me but their awesome support had me set up and running with their beta within minutes of me contacting them.
