I built it on a 10.6.8 custom image. I’ll try a vanilla image. I’ll will also investigate if theres a custom package causing the issue. I’m still investigating the instaDMG log for details, but at this stage theres no obvious issues.

Apple’s reply “It appears like /etc/authorization is bad, as there is no entry for com.apple.ServiceManagement.daemons.modify. Authorization Services is using this as the default rule, so we suspect that this is the reason why it fails. As the demon can not be modified due to this rule, the removal process must fail. Comparing this /etc/authorization to the version that ships with 10.6.8 shows substantial differences.”

thanks

Thanks, that’s given me some things to try.

Thanks for you reply.
unfortunately our asset man system uses SU on the client to report on updates required. If it points to a blank URL it will return nothing. Preventing software updates to run for the user prevents them from knowing that updates are required, which reduces support calls, also there is no lock down on some i-apps on the “check for updates” like itunes has.
as we have a stable estate we always use a few versions behind apple.

cheers
