    I’ve got a 10.6.4 version 3.0 disk that came with an iMac. I made a dmg of it which mounts OK but when I try and run my workflow, it bombs out.

    Running the installer command manually produces the helpful:

    installer: Error –

    Has anyone else seen this problem? Have Apple changed something on their DVDs supplied with machines?

    You need a vanilla OS install disc that is not machine specific. An apple store or supplier can provide one for you.

    At present they are 10.6 and 10.6.3 flavours unless Apple has released something very recently.

    Regards

    found this…

    “Aha – ndpete mentioned not running it on the server version of OS X. That seemed to be the problem. I ported the InstaDMG folder over to a client mac and built the image there and sure enough, iLife Support was baked in. Glad that’s taken care of…

    This is why we cannot stress enough that you should not build images on the server OS. It does funky things.”
