    I ran InstaDMG again, this time with debugging on (level 4) and with the -r option.

    At the Xcode installation, I see this:

    More info. I ran it again and this is the exact error I am seeing when InstaDMG gets to Xcode Tools:

    I deleted the cached image from the BaseImageCache folder, rebuilt, and now it works. Go figure!

    Here’s some more data. I created an Iimage manually using the following commands and Java seems to work. From what I understand of InstaDMG, these are similar commands to what InstaDMG uses. Given that manually creating a “modular image” allows Java to work, and using InstaDMG does not, I’m inclined to believe this is a bug in InstaDMG. Should I report this on the google code issues list, or is this too obscure?

    based on Mac OS X Deployment v10.5 page 171 the resultant image allows java to work

    I don’t think you understand. The most recent universal Install DVD from Apple is 10.5.4 (as far as I know). That has to be the base image for nstaDMG. From there one uses the vanilla.catalog to bring the image to 10.5.6 and then to the current fully patched state. When using InstaDMG to create a fully patched image, java doesn’t work.

    In order to debug this Java issue, I started with just the 10.5.4 base image. I installed just the base image directly onto a Mac mini and java worked. I then used InstaDMG create an image with just the same 10.5.4 dmg file and installed that image on the same Mac mini and java didn’t work.

    So, when I use InstaDMG for a 10.5.4 image, 10.5.6 image, and 10.5.6 fully patched image, java doesn’t work. When I install directly onto the machine, java does work.

    I hope that explains it better.

    OK, more info. I created an image using only the 10.5.4 DMG file and unfortunately, java doesn’t work. I installed the same image manually onto the Mac mini to check, and java does work. Java only doesn’t work if the image is created through InstaDMG. 🙁

    I really want to use InstaDMG as I see it as a great time saver, but this is a show stopper for me.

    Any ideas?

    [QUOTE][u]Quote by: jazzace[/u][p]Only sightly OT, but the latest updater is 12.1.5 and it is a “combo” update. That should simplify the troubleshooting a bit.[/p][/QUOTE]

    It’s sort of a combo updater in that you still need to make sure Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac Service Pack 1 (12.1.0) is installed.

    ug. I create a new image and I still see the same problem. This is, of course, a show stopper for me. I even tried reinstalling Java, update 2 and update 3, and it didn’t help.

    Any ideas?

    This is still a problem for me though. I used the vanilla.catalog and java doesn’t work in the resultant image. Can anyone confirm that is does work in an image create through InstaDMG?

    scutil cannot create a location.

    it’s kept up to date. I just submitted the latest Apple changes to it and they were added to the svn repo.

    [QUOTE][u]Quote by: larkost[/u][p]As a little plug: InstaUp2Date does have this correctly in the vanilla.catalog file. Even if you are not using InstaUp2Date it might be worth watching the vanilla.catalog file for a known-good list of updates that is in a known-good order.[/p][/QUOTE]

    I am using the vanilla catalog and I am seeing the issue.

    Yea, but these are just permissions. These are symlinks that should be files. I followed a few of the symlink and the files are there, but in off directories that begin with an underscore. I just wonder is something that will cause problems for these applications int he long run. I suppose I could write a script to verify permissions, follow each symlink in the resultant list, remove the symlink, then move the original file to the symlink’s position. I suppose someone has to do it.

    I did check a couple of machines not build through an InstaDMG image, and they do not have this symlink issue.
