I got the full installer because I got the sparse image with munki / macadmin-scripts. (At that time)
Intaller.app is broken, but the contents are elsewhere in the sparse image and copy it to correct app-contents.
Then it is worked.

 

% curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/munki/macadmin-scripts/main/installinstallmacos.py && sudo /usr/bin/python installinstallmacos.py --raw --seedprogram DeveloperSeed

 

Thank you

In my Install_macOS_12.0-21A5522h.sparseimage

->Applications->InstallApplications->Install macOS Monterey beta.app->Contents->SharedSupport->SharedSupport.dmg

 

Anyway, I will try again here as well

Just tried again, nothing, wrong path?
Maybe I need to show the GreenPass to get the full installer? 😆

Same for me, although I have beta 7 working from SU, I've tried to download standalone installer and I get an incomplete and small in size package.

Clean install using USB installer. Install time 30 min.

Tips to repair Install Monterey App.

1. Open package content of Install Monterey App

2. Create SharedSupport folder

3. Open Install Assistant.pkg wit Better Zip and extract SharedSupport.dmg

4. Copy contents of SharedSupport.dmg and paste it to the folder created in step 2.

That's it enjoy.

Here, too, the installer works in the USB

I use Clover and to complete the installation I have to do it with SMBIOS iMac17.1

Can someone share ShareSupport.dmg ? The InstallAssistant.pkg is around 10Gb, I think I can't try with this. It took over 10 hours to download it via Software Update because of the bad situation of internet connection.

Thanks for this workaround! I tried a similar thing with Pacifist, but it didn't show the SharedSupport.dmg. With BetterZip it worked.

Download it with ANYmacOS and then apply the workaround.

Thanks I'll try when I get home

[Guest 5T33Z0]

@bisdak4920 Thanks for the workaround!

@chris1111 Thanks for the Kepler Patch! Worked flawlessly

 

@MifJpnAlphaPlus Your terminal command copies SharedSupport.dmg to Monterey\ beta.app/Contents/SharedSupport. But I think you have to extract the contents of  SharedSupport.dmg instead.

Just downgraded to beta 6 as the annoying two-finger swipe issue with my trackpad when scrolling throught long web pages.

 You could do this instead as suggested earlier:

• Move InstallAssistant.pkg to Desktop
• Double Click to install it.
• In Terminal, enter:
  • cd ~/Desktop
  • xar -xf InstallAssistant.pkg SharedSupport.dmg
  • sudo mkdir /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Monterey\ beta.app/Contents/SharedSupport
• Then you manually copy the files inside SharedSupport.dmg to /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Monterey\ beta.app/Contents/SharedSupport
• Then you can start the Installer App.

look guys:  this is truly an Apple screw-up, that as I noted in an earlier post, they've done before.  I have Beta 7 on my Z490 and I don't have it on my Z370...

Yes, it seems that this is what has happened. Even real Mac users have posted the same issue, especially the missing SharedSupport folder, which is why the downloaded installer is so small in size.

 

But in your Z370 have you tried? (I guess so):

• in current Monterey: SMBIOS >> iMac17,1 + SecureBootModel=Disabled
• restart >> beta 7 displayed in SU
• download and install
• after install, come back SMBIOS and SecureBootModel if required.

I'm sorry, the sparse Image was changing.

 

Let's make it from InstallAssistant.pkg.

Move InstallAssistant.pkg to Desktop
Please double click and create Install...app (broken) on /Application
% cd ~/Desktop
% xar -xf InstallAssistant.pkg SharedSupport.dmg
% sudo mkdir /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Monterey\ beta.app/Contents/SharedSupport
% sudo cp ~/Desktop/SharedSupport.dmg /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Monterey\ beta.app/Contents/SharedSupport

 

% sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Monterey\ beta.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --nointeraction --downloadassets --volume /Volumes/USB
(USB Stick named "USB")

Thank you

No that I needed it as I have already updated, but by now I was fixated  on creating the usb
Everything worked perfectly thanks Arigatō again 🙏

Intel HD 4000 worsk good on Beta 7 HP Probook 6570b 

[MorenoAv]

My problem is that my usb is a no show on desktop, so for that reason it failed because USB is not a valid volume mount point...

What did I need to do to make my usb show in desktop?

Thanks

[Anto65]

[MorenoAv]

Yes I did, but USB is a no show...

@antuneddu - Good day Bro have you tried your created Beta7 USB installer drive? The reason I am asking my initial success at creating one turned out to be a big fail installing on a test drive (see attached). I went through the process twice and each time ended as failed. I even tried the steps posted by @5T33Z0 and that too was the same result. Now here is that word DEFEAT again, hate to admit it but that is where I am at the moment with this abortion, so until a more viable solution is offered up or Apple come up with the method we all are used to I am D-O-N-E.

Hello dear, Unmm this B7 is detecting an obstacle course, it does not come out 😆  honestly I have not tried the installation from usb (created with the suggestions of @MifJpnAlphaPlus) Meantime  I have created another usb with a more simplified method (thanks to @PG7 for BetterZip)  let's see how it goes 🤞

we just have to cry 😂 (Benigni's famous film) For the moment I'll stop here 🤬

You can use Terminal as well to put the SharedSupprot on the desktop, Then you don't need BetterZip. InstallAssistant.pkg has to be present the Desktop already:

 

cd ~/Desktop

xar -xf InstallAssistant.pkg SharedSupport.dmg

 

But in order for the installer to work properly afterwards, the package has to come from the SAME download. Seems like there's a checksum or whatever involved. Also, this only seems to work when upgrading an existing Monterey Install. Clean Installs still seem to require Internet access to download additional content – which is kinda weird, since this is 12 Gigs in size. Overall. it's a really messy update and update process. I'd just wait until they fix the script that builds the installer app.
