Description of issue
When Apple's installer fails AutoDMG reports it with a generic Installation of 'InstallInfo.plist' failed with return code 1. See the log for details. A dialog that explains the error better is needed, as it's Apple's installer failing, not AutoDMG.
Observed causes of this behavior so far:
- Having the OS installer app on the system volume (e.g. the default location
/Applications), see FAQ #0.
- Incomplete OS installer, see FAQ #9.
- Flaky dmg mounter. Sometimes macOS just fails to mount dmgs until you reboot.
- Some systems seem to trigger an unidentified bug in the installer, where it fails to accept the target volume as valid for no apparent reason.
