Did I miss any of this in the documentation?

If so, I feel like a real idiot.

If not, it may be a good idea to add it.

As far as your problem with better logging for your package – I’m stumped on that too.

Any solutions I can think of drastically kill the simplicity of instadmg.

I will keep thinking though.

Great package akinspe!

I’d like to know if this is normal or if I am having some kind of problem:

createuser only works for me if I am building the image on the same OS as the target image. In examining the postflight script, it seems as if you provisioned for this with the HOST_SW_VERS and TARGET_SW_VERS vars.

But I still have trouble.

Running instadmg from 10.5.2, attempting to build a 10.4.11 image – I get this in log:

installer: Installing createUser…..
installer:
installer: Configuring Installation
installer: Validating package
installer: Writing files
installer: Writing package receipt
installer: Finishing Installation…..
installer: Running createUser Installer script
installer: The install failed (The following install step failed: run postflight script for createUser. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.)

With identical instadmg deployment, running from 10.4.11, I get this in log:

installer: Package name is createUser
installer: Installing onto volume mounted at /.
installer: Preparing for installation…..
installer: Preparing the Disk…..
installer: Preparing Target Volume

installer: Preparing createUser…..

cam,

did you have any kind of similar event as bailset?

i.e. – manually running launchd jobs?

[jeffrey.c]

Man, I was hoping you guys had NOT done a clean install, because then the answer would be easy.

😕

This is baffling.

Have you double-checked your export file that you already imported to make sure there were no accounts that could possibly conflict with system/standard accounts?

[jeffrey.c]

Did everyone who is experiencing this “upgrade” to 10.5.

Or is anyone suffering this after a clean install?

ewhite,

Make sure your closing bracket in your “if” statement has a space before it.

I copied and pasted from this forum and had problems too.

CORRECT =

if [ -d /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ Disc\ 2/Xcode\ Tools/XcodeTools.mpkg ]

INCORRECT =

if [ -d /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ Disc\ 2/Xcode\ Tools/XcodeTools.mpkg/]
