I got my baseOS from a recently purchased media kit (10.5.6) and the 10.5.8 combo updater. Haven’t had an issue with any of my images (other than specific programs like Adobe but that’s…Adobe).

I’ve got another image baking up right now and I’ll try mail specifically and see if I get anything similar (don’t hold your breath for a reply tho, its got at least another 3.5 hours to go).

Wow Patrick, thanks a lot for that exhaustive write-up! I’ve got my remote machine installing a fresh version of the current loadset right now at which point I’ll be able to address the first couple points regarding ownership and permissions. However, I believe I actually created a version where I went through and opened up everything to 777 to just rule out permissions (security out the door for the sake of testing!) and the results weren’t memorable (as I no longer remember what happened).

And I’ll verify the self-heal xml files again to make sure I’m following your comments.

In the meantime, we’ve already established that Acrobat requires another main CS component to initialize first in order to serialize but does Acrobat Distiller require Acrobat to run initially as well? I’ll verify by doing a fresh legit disk install tomorrow but it just doesn’t seem very robust to require these programs to domino in like that.

Thanks again for your expertise on this.
