After following the guide for Legacy macOS: Offline Method The installer could not be used in Parallels or a physical Mac machine. The error message is: image If for instance this installer is created on an earlier macOS operating system by double clicking on the InstallMacOSX.pkg Then everything runs smooth. Apparently there Is something else missing. It works with a Mountain Lion installer , but ML does not check the installer.

I have created an instruction for installing Mavericks USB boot disk with an official installer downloaded from the App Store or with mas-cli. Similar technique can be applied to the other legacy installers. For Mavericks neither the offline nor the online methods described in the Dortania manual work.
