Black Window installer!

Are you copying it out of the disk image and unmounting it?
Did you reboot or at least type "sudo killall loginwindow" into terminal?
It is not supposed to turn the login screen black. just the windows pictured in this thread and on the linked page.
Black background with white text is easier on the eyes. I looked at finder and did not see a way to make it black. I could not find the nib file for the main window. If you want to look you can. If you find it for me tell me which nib file it is.

still no luck, im getting warnings in the automatorsomething about missing items, etc etc
Strange. It works fine for me. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it without problems. Can you post screenshots?
Are you running the shell script at the root of the disk image?
I will try installing 10.5 on an external HD and seeing if it works there tomorrow
I just tested it again and it works. If you get errors post screenshots.
If you are running it from automator you will not get it to work. It must be run as root hence the shell scripts.
When you open the disk image you see this right: (look at first attachment)
You are clicking on the install icon that looks like the second attachment
I have uninstalled and reinstalled it repeatedly and it works.
I even re-uploaded it and it and downloaded it and it works
Again just run the shell scripts at the root of the disk image.

Did you wait for the automator icon in the dock to go away?
Now there is a delay before terminal says it is done that is long enough to allow it to install.
Yes you can quit terminal now.
Try re-downloading it. I just updated it
i do not have to reboot but if it does not work you can try rebooting. It was saying it was done before it was done before.
The upload had a error so you might want to try again. Also do not reboot as soon as it says it is done. Wait a little bit.
I am in the process of making a video with install instructions in case you are installing it wrong. It also proves the installer works for me.
Will have a crack at it once I finish my exam
hehehe ... something to look forward to The second one was not part of the installer. That was something else I was working on. But did it work?
Most likely not. I tried them too. You can try logging in as root. are you an administrator? are you running Leopard?
Here is instructions to enable root:
