To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behaviour: run script or .app

Additional context

[2018-10-08 11:03:06] Creating iso '/Users/bentech/VirtualBox VMs//macOS-Mojave.iso.cdr' (around 25 seconds)...
[2018-10-08 11:03:06] .
hdiutil: convert failed - Resource temporarily unavailable
"disk2" ejected.

I manually created the image with hdiutil convert ~/VirtualBox\ VMs/macOS-Mojave.dmg -format UDTO -o ~/VirtualBox\ VMs/macOS-Mojave.iso.cdr and ran the script again. It then worked.

Mh, Resource temporarily unavailable could indicate that there are terminal windows, applications, ... that were using the image. Should make the script more robust when there is another report.
