I also note that one of the file code changes in Rev 450 is:

[code] AddOns/InstaUp2Date/Resources/pathHelpers.py[/code]

And that is part of the error:

[code]Running InstaDMG: /INSTA/InstaDMG/instadmg.bash -f -I /INSTA/InstaDMG/InstallerFiles/InstallerDiscs/InstallESD.dmg -n Macintosh HD -m 10.7 Vanilla.dmg -K /private/tmp/idmg_temp.o4Qyy9/items-1KnH7j -o /INSTA/InstaDMG/OutputFiles

Traceback (most recent call last):

Can’t remember previous rev, I imagine it would have been 44X or something

Command I using is…

sudo ./instaUp2Date.py -p 10.7_vanilla

I have rebooted 3 times -same issue

Thanks!

Put it in the postflight.sh script:

# Turn off Bluetooth
sudo defaults write “${PREFS_DIR}/com.apple.Bluetooth” ControllerPowerState -bool NO

Great! – that seems to have done the trick – its shaking and baking now

also just to add the the disc used is original retail and the computer is not going to sleep during the process

So basically, in SIU to have a NetRestore solution that is a modular packaged workflow you have to start with a real Install DVD (or dmg of) and use the add packages action to make it up to date – is there no way to update the Install DVD to incorporate all up to date OS patches and then use that as a base install image and then add 3rd party packages on top of that in the modular workflow. From an enterprise POV it seems very onerous.

I am from the old school of Golden Master and am going through 10.6 Deployment by K White and getting to grips with the alternate way of working. I find SIU obviously slow, the logging and reporting leave a lot to be desired – couple those 2 factors together and a lot of frustration comes out.

Then add the 2 heavyweights, Adobe and Micrososft to bundle in, I see Adobe offer a package app which fails in SIU but works in a direct ARD install and Microsoft so far has failed me but I have to research more. I have watched the instaDMG seminars from MacSysAdmins 2010 and am digesting…..

So what would be great is for Apple to acquire instaDMG into the SIU concept – which puts an easy to use GUI over a superior backend.
