First of all, don't start the installation by executing the edited file in the command shell. And you don't need to be root to start the installation anyway. Just double click the OSInstall.mpkg.

 

If this still gives you an error right-click on OSInstall.mpkg and choose Show Package Contents. Then open folder Contents and reedit the file OSInstall.dist

 

Locate the function hwbeModelCheck() and make sure it looks exactly like this:

 

 

<script>function hwbeModelCheck() {

 

return true;

 

}

 

 

Make sure you do all the editing with Textedit. If you still get the error, delete the file and copy it freshly from the DMG or the install DVD and do the editing again.

"There was an error while evaluating JavaScript for the package".... how can i ressolved this... im i having a bad .dmg ???

You need to add that last bracket after "return true;" so that it looks like this

 

return true;

}

 

AND THEN -

delete everything below that including "return true" and its bracket } before the command sequence.
