what version of OSX are you running on the computer that you are attempting to build with?

I have the iLifeSupport 9.0.4 update working perfectly fine in a 10.6.3 InstaDMG implementation without altering the package.

Just for reference my iLifeSupport9.0.4 updates comes after the past iLifeSupport updates, and after the initial iLife installation, but before the individual imovie, iphoto, iweb, etc updates. Also these are in the CustomPKG folder.

Thank You,

We actually got the following script to work correctly. It just doesn’t take affect until after logout.

[quote]/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c “add networkbrowser:CustomListProperties:com.apple.NetworkBrowser.bonjourEnabled bool” /Users/$USER/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist[/quote]

the local MCX did not correctly work in my InstaDMG image.

However I am now building an image with goldberg’s script along with a modified version of that script to change the background.

Simply put, when a new user is created an icon appears on their desktop, once this icon is executed it calls upon 6 .command files that each execute different scripts. This is how we will be executing the .commands to reconfigure/reset the menu bar and the desktop background for each user.

[QUOTE][u]Quote by: carson[/u][p]I’m struggling with this as well. I’m using 1.6b1 of instadmg as well as the provided 10.6_vanilla.catalog file to build an image. When I drop my installerchoices.xml file in with my base OS DVD image, the process only takes 8 minutes and I end up with a non-functioning, 835MB image. Here are the contents of my installerchoices file:

[/code]
I’ve also cleared out the cached base OS image so that it creates a new one. I saw this in the output. Notice that it only takes 17 seconds on my Mac Pro to run the installer based on the installerchoices file:

Any tips on the proper formatting or syntax of this xml file for v1.6b1?[/p][/QUOTE]

For a while I had an issue very similar to this, except my image file was around 400MB.

After a few days of trial and error, I started from scratch with a newly created MAC OS X Install DVD.Dmg and a new installerchoices.xml. Then built from there.
My installerchoices.xml looks like this

Thank You for the reply.

I apologize for the lack of information. I am running 10.6.2 and building a 10.6.2 image. My InstaDMG version must have been a little old. I updated from google code and in a round about way I was able to eliminate all of those issues without any permission issues. As of now I have a booting/working 10.6.2 image with updated security, java, and 2 user accounts.
