System Updates location/source question…

[tristan_mason]

Hi All

It seems as though instadmg only likes system updates when they come from apple. If I download say the 10.6.4 Combo Updater, check sum it and pop it in a workflow it errors but if it downloads from apple as per the example catalogs then there is no trouble. I’ve been putting it in the BaseUpdates folder and have tried the InstallerDiscs folder too but both fail. Anyone else have the same issues or am I doing something wrong? Do I need to flush the cache files perhaps?

Regards

Tristan

Don’t manually place files into BaseUpdates. That is another working folder for InstaDMG. The only place you should ever place files manually is InstaUp2DatePackages and possibly InstallerDiscs. If you specify a link to a website, it’ll place it in caches automatically. Leave BaseOS, BaseUpdates and CustomPKG alone. Basically, just follow what the InstaUp2Date guide has outlined and you should be ok.

Thanks Nate

I stuck in Uptodate and it works fine now.

No problem. There should be an updated 10.6_vanilla catalog hitting the SVN in the next day or so. This will make all our lives a bit easier 🙂

After all that i’ve just tested the 10.6.5 catalogue you posted and it works a treat. i’ll process it in my catalog now to make sure it goes all the way! I’ll let you know when its completed.
