Tried the App on Tahoe and Sonoma. Whilst it works as described, there is no movement in the progress bar. Also the percentage output stays at zero right up to the point of completion. I don't hold out much hope that the situation will change on this fresh installation. It is a trivial matter but at the same time annoying. Now you can see why I am salivating at the thought of purchasing the M5 Mac Mini at launch. Okay, I'll think about how to solve this. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/361362-a-program-for-installing-macos-without-using-an-installation-flash-drive/page/3/#findComment-2837399 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anto65 Posted July 20, 2025 Share Posted July 20, 2025 It's not a problem for me, but I'll go back to the previous version if it doesn't work. Of course, it's a mysterious mystery 🙃 why it doesn't work for you (the P. Bar).

Sergey_Galan Posted July 20, 2025 Author Share Posted July 20, 2025 2 hours ago, eSaF said: Situation unchanged with latest. Whilst it is commendable that you're going the extra mile for @LockDown and I to have the full UI effect of the App, It is proven by @Anto65 beyond any doubt that there is no fault within. The fault is more probable at our end so in my opinion just to cater the App for just us two who reported a glitch, will probably prove detrimental to other users by the constant changes. I have even been trying to see if there is a common denominator between @LockDown specs and my own as to why this is happening but as it stands, I am no more wiser. This is not related to the startosinstall utility. It should work for everyone, if it does not work for everyone, then the problem is in the program. Try this option if it is not difficult for you, please.

jlrycm Posted July 20, 2025 Share Posted July 20, 2025 @Sergey_Galan when you say that SIP must be disabled to install in a separate volume, can I install it if the SIP defined for that separate volume is <01000000>? Is there data loss when choosing to install in a separate volume?
