I know exactly why this is happening. Its the old "launchd' failure. This happens when you mount the ISO in VMware's own ISo emulation. Either mount the ISO using a different virtual CD emulator like Alcohol 120%, Nero ImageDrive, or Virtual Clone Drive. However, the best option is to burn the ISO to DVD.

What about Daemon-Tools? I used that as I did last time I installed to physical partition via VMWare (that time it worked). Looks like this uphuck version has a regression (introducing old bugs) so it fails under VMWare.

Get it fixed people! VMWare is just as important as the real thing (meaning a real x86 PC this time).

 

uphuck: You're doing a great job, don't misunderstand. It's just that it frustrates people when they can't get stuff working.

 

Oh damn. 10.4.9 will be so great. If I could just get it running. My computer has a GeForce 8800GTS card so I can't install it natively either.

 

When can we expect support for 8800 series (and Radeon HD series too)?

Saviert,

 

I no longer mention Daemon Tools as a choice for virtual drive emulation because the new versions install When-U/U-Control Spyware on your computer. I've confirmed this by testing. If you have a new version of Daemon Tools, run the trusted online spyware scanner X-Cleaner Micro Edition (requires Internet Explorer). I bet it will pick up When-U spyware on your machine if you have a new version of Daemon Tools installed.

 

Also, are you saying that the launchd failure error is caused by a bad Uphuck image? If you are, for your information the launchd error is a well known error that appears when the OS X ISO is mounted on VMware.

You can choose not to install the WhenU SaveNow stuff when you install Daemon-Tools. It has been discussed to death on Daemon-Tools forums. I am running Daemon-Tools now and I have no adware installed because I choose not to install the WhenU component. Sometimes people decide to make money on the software they write. It's not a bad thing to bundle adware if people can opt-out during installation.

Okay enough about that. Just think it deserves some explanation.

 

And yes, you're right the Built-in ISO emulation in VMWare sucks, but I did use Daemon-Tools previously (now I'm repeating myself here) when installing a JaS distribution of Mac OS X and then it worked. With this 10.4.9 uphuck version, it fails no matter what I tried (out of the obvious of course as I'm only a mere mortal).

 

I hope we can be on the same wavelength now.

Told you Uphuck is useless and error-full. As for Daemon Tools with spyware, just in case I got something wrong I want you to know that when I installed Daemon Tools 4.09 I was given no choice to not install the WhenU stuff. I scanned with the scanner I linked above and it found the WhenU software, when I didn't even say that I wanted it.

 

But no matter how different our opinions are, we're still friends right? :)

Actually only the Daemon Tools PRO - in the basic free edition has the AdVantage/WhenU {censored}.

Normal 4.10 still works like a charm, and i really see no point in using the PRO Basic version, since

the important improvments are included only in the more advanced commercial packages.

BTW... one great guide you've made, gratz!

I hate the stupid spyware that people bundle with apps....Daemon Tools has gotten a big hit to its reputation...Used to be a great program all around but now new users don't even want to touch it. I use Nero ImageDrive as an alternative

Thanks :gathering:
