First of all, I would like to thank everyone involved in this, it is absolutely amazing, I am learning so much from this. Also the people on this forum are very patient, which again is really great.
I have been using Instadmg for Base 10.6 images, they work fine. Now I’ve been trying InstaUp2Date and it works great too, I get a 10.6.3 image with all the updates out of the 10.6_vanilla.catalog file, but I can’t get iLife ’09 installed.
I have taken the iLife ’09.mpkg from the original iLife 09 Install DVD and copied it into InstaDMG/InstallerFiles/InstaUp2DatePackages, then I have updated the 10.6_vanilla.catalog file, looking like this,Third Party Software:
iLife ’09 /Users/horst/instadmg/InstallerFiles/InstaUp2DatePackages/iLife ’09.mpkg sha1:d58806ffbea052b45f0826d25ff41322333f6305what I get is this in the terminal,
Looking for iLife ’09

TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, NoneType foundIs it wrong to place the iLife.mpkg into InstaDMG/InstallerFiles/InstaUp2DatePackages, and where do I tell InstaUp2Date to install iLife 09?
Thank you
Hey there,
Please post which version of instaUp2Date and instadmg you are using, unless you downloaded the zip from code.google.com. Your catalog entry probably isn’t the issue.
I am working on documentation so I sound less as if I’m spreading my feelings that it works like voodoo sometimes, but that’s just because I need to learn more about the code. There’s a lot better exception handling recently, but the error you’re running into is one of the ones where I ‘punt’ and try it as a DMG instead, meaning there’s no need to pull the mpkg out. And you should be able to put it anywhere, but I choose either the /Caches/InstaUp2DateCache or /Installer/InstaUp2DatePackages folders.
Give it another shot(you’ll want to re-do the checksum as well, since this is the dmg now) and let us know. Thanks,
Allister
