First of all, many thanks for your tool. I checked out the latest version and ran 'make all'. Everything succeeded. Then I formatted the disk with the disk util, according to the step by step guide. But when I try to start the system installation, nothing happens. bildschirmfoto 2018-10-02 um 11 35 00 I almost waited an hour. I'm runnig VBox 5.2.18 on macOS 10.12.6 Has anyone experienced the same behaviour? Any hints on getting over this?

Mh, I’ve not seen this before. Not sure what happens here. Running ´ make clean stashˋ (deletes everything) would be my first attempt.

christau commented 5 years ago

Thanks for your reply. I repeated the same procedure a second time:

make clean stash
make all

But with the same ending, that the installation of macOS itself wont start. The installation bundle was downloaded from the appstore on the day of the issue creation.

I'm gonna try it on a different version of the host. What host macOS version did you use?

AlexanderWillner commented 5 years ago

Tested it on macOS 10.13.6 and 10.14.0.

christau commented 5 years ago

I installed it under 10.14 and it finally worked. Thanks for your help.

I'm having the same issue described by @christau. Host is Catalina 10.15.1 and I'm trying to install Mojave 10.14.6. It just freezes there: 2020-01-03 at 22 16

If I open a terminal for instance, then go back to the same menu and click Install MacOS again I get "This copy of the Install macOS Mojave application is damaged, and can't be used to install macOS.".

Well that's crazy - I redownloaded Mojave and it worked. How odd.
