Hi all
Excited to install High Sierra Beta and get testing with VR on a mac 🙂
Unfortunately, it's not installing. When i launch the installer I get this error: "The installer information on the recovery server is damaged"
Anyone got any ideas of how to fix?
Also noticed sound drivers for on board MBP 2015 aren't working. Recognises Apple TV but not onboard speakers :/
Computer specs:
Same issue here. I believe this has to do with problems with Apple servers, since I'm assuming that the "recovery server" by nature has to live somewhere out there as a recovery source for your (and my) Mac.
I suspect this will probably get cleared up within a day.
You have to download and install the Beta Access Utility first:
I can't be sure, but I have a feeling this has to do with enrolling your Mac correctly, first.
I'd simply clicked on the "View the macOS public beta in the Mac App Store" link on the beta.apple.com page, which took me the App Store on my Mac, and from there I'd simply clicked the Download button - which downloaded the initial part of the installer on my machine. But soon after hitting "Continue" on the installer, it threw up the error you're talking about.
I went back to the beta.apple.com web page and enrolled my Mac properly (by downloading and installing the macOS Public Beta Access Utility properly.
Once done, I tried the download again from the Mac App Store (after deleting the intial Installer file in my Launchpad), and voila, the download seems to have begun happening properly.
Suggest you both try that - hopefully, it'll do the trick for you too!
Best of luck!
Downloaded the file on mates MBP 2016, used USB to transfer installer and it worked...
Only problem now is Steam VR does not work.. In fact, have not been able to get ANY VR experiences work. Lol
Had the same problem, downloading the macOS Public Beta Access Utilit fixed the problem. Thank you!
Had the same error when installing High Sierra PB, Googled it, 1st result was this thread, and your reply fixed it... thanks!!! Gotta love the internet.
