You need to be on Catalina to do a Catalina image. https://github.com/MagerValp/AutoDMG/wiki/FAQ

Well that's certainly weird, you're dropping the app on AutoDMG but it mis-detects it as an InstallESD image:

Which version of the Catalina installer is this? And could you please share the output of ls -Al "/Volumes/Install macOS Catalina/Install macOS Catalina.app/Contents/SharedSupport"?

Its definitely a Catalina machine as well.

Its downloaded using installinstallmacos.py and the dmg thats compiled is: Install_macOS_10.15.2-19C57.dmg

That installer app is missing resources, such as BaseSystem.dmg, which is what's confusing AutoDMG.

monodata commented 4 years ago

OK - re-downloading using G.Neagles script then will report back

monodata commented 4 years ago

Weird - downloaded again and had same result. Downloaded Catalina using softwareudpdate then packed into a dmg and it worked fine.

Consider this closed.
