Successful image build, but apple patches not applied – ideas?

[mgb123]

I just finished building a new image on a MacBookPro5,1 with the supplied installer DVD (10.5.6)

I used InstaIp2Date, which made it as far of the FrontRow updater and then stopped there as the checksum didn’t match.

After that, I simply ran software update on the machine, installed them, and then checked to see what the install order was in the console log.

Here’s my log of the steps I followed:

[quote]Edited Create user pkg

[b]None of my apple updates are applied- should I have opened the Apple DMG files and copied the actual packages into the numbered folders?
Did running InstaUp2Date but then removing the downloads and placing them in the manually managed Apple Updates folder have an effect on something?[/b]

If you are using straight InstaDMG, they MUST be a .pkg. If you use InstaUp2Date, you can use DMGs and it’ll work fine.

Nate, thanks very much – when I checked the build log, it still looked like InstaDMG was opening the DMGs, so I thought maybe I didn’t need to.

Thanks for the quick feedback- I’ll rebuild with the actuall PKG files.

No Problem. I’ve asked quite a few questions here myself, so I figured I’d help someone else out for a change.

I have issues with the Camera Raw 2.4 update myself. I have not quite figured that out yet. It says it installs it, but software update pops up and says I need to install it.

Changing from DMG to PKG files did the trick, thanks for the advice.

I wish I could help on the Camera RAW issue- my 10.5.5 disc seems to have it by default.

Now I have to move onto issues with my InstallerChoices XML file, as it doesn’t seem to be working – I’ll make a new post for that just in case other folks are having issues.
