Failed deployment of image
So I spent about 2-3 months working on and learning InstaDMG. I continually tested the images I had and the packages I was developing. Tried to keep up to date with the latest release of InstaDMG as well. Everything seemed to be working fine by the end of December. Come the new year, I realized I made a silly mistake and left out the package of iLife 09, everything else worked fine (Final Cut Studio 3, Adobe CS5, Acrobat 9, and Office 2011). Should have been simple to included it, right? Well I decided to also download the latest InstaDMG release. I'm not sure where or how this happened but somewhere along the way my packages for Adobe CS5 and Final Cut Studio 3 stopped working correctly. I attempted multiple times to re-create the packages based on the info and guides available here, but no cigar.
Distiller (part of Adobe Acrobat) was giving me issues opening up (I managed to fix this).
Final Cut Studio 3 was losing its licensing.
Then Adobe CS5 started losing its licensing.
Finally Adobe Illustrator stopped working.
So this is where I am today. I attempted to deploy this image to 35 iMacs (2 different silver models from the past two years), and none of them work as they should. I'm not sure why or how this happened. During those few months, I kept testing in two ways. One by creating a separate partition on my Mac which would constantly be re-imaged to see how the image behaved. Then I tested by getting a separate Mac and re-imaging from my external HDD and over the network as well. Each time I ran into a problem I was able to fix the package and the image would come out clean. But somehow things changed.
This has been the most stressful week ever. A nightmare in fact. What should have been quite an accomplishment has been a complete failure. And I don't have any idea why.
I just wanted to share this story and get some feedback here. Has anyone has had any issues with the latest release of InstaDMG and the two products I mentioned?
