I'm trying to install MacOS Mojave.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Edit runMacOSVirtualbox.sh and remove --applicationPath like:
    -    sudo "$INST_BIN" --nointeraction --volume "$DST_VOL" --applicationpath "$INST_VER" ||
    +    sudo "$INST_BIN" --nointeraction --volume "$DST_VOL" "$INST_VER" ||
  2. Create installer using default settings:
    $ make all
    Logfile: /Users/eric/Library/Logs/runMacOSVirtualbox.log
    Running checks (around 1 second)....
    Creating image '/Users/eric/VirtualBox VMs/macOS-VM.dmg' (around 20 seconds, version 14.2.2, will need sudo)....
    Password:
    Creating iso '/Users/eric/VirtualBox VMs/macOS-VM.iso.cdr' (around 25 seconds)....
    Creating VM HDD '/Users/eric/VirtualBox VMs/macOS-VM.vdi' (around 1 minute)....
    Adding APFS drivers to EFI in '/Users/eric/VirtualBox VMs/macOS-VM.efi.vdi' (around 5 seconds)....
    Creating VM 'macOS-VM' (around 2 seconds)....
    Adding installer DVD for VM 'macOS-VM'....
    Adding APFS drivers to EFI in '/Users/eric/VirtualBox VMs/macOS-VM.efi.vdi' (around 5 seconds)....
    Starting VM 'macOS-VM' (3 minutes in the VM)....
    Press enter to stop the VM and to eject the installer medium (to avoid an installation loop)....

    The installer starts and I click on Install macOS.

Afterwards, an error is displayed: This copy of the Install macOS Mojave application is damaged and can't be used to install macOS.

I got this working with Catalina so I'm going to close this out. I'm assuming something was wrong with my Mojave.

@sourcedelica what version of Catalina?

sourcedelica commented 4 years ago

It was either 10.15.1 or 10.15.2. It is 10.15.2 currently but I may have updated the OS via Software Update.
