Can’t get InstaDMG to use my 10.6 installer image.

[Thomas.Glen]

I get this message when executing instadmg.bash:

11:53:27 ###### InstaDMG build initiated ######
InstaDMG version 1.6b2 (svn revision: 266)
Host OS: Mac OS X 10.6
Host Hardware: iMac8,1
Output file name: 10-04-21.dmg
Output disk name: InstaDMG
11:53:27 ###### Finding main MacOS X installer disk ######

The “OSX 10.6.dmg” file I put in /InstallerFiles/BaseOS/ is a manually created image that worked in InstaDMG 1.5. The DMG file was manually renamed from “Mac OSX Installer Disk”. Also, I yanked the InstaUp2Date subfolder from AddOns, since I don’t want to use it (It’s WAY easier to manage my 35 pkgs by dragging & dropping them vs. crafting a catalog file.)

Any theory on why InstaDMG won’t use the OS installer image?

It needs to be “Mac OS X Install Disc”. You have two mistakes in your line (at least as you wrote it here):

Installer-> Install
Disk-> Disc

Or you could bypass this by using the -I (sounds like eye) flag and specifying the path to the image.
