Hi!
I waited for 10.15.1 and finally wanted to do a clean install yesterday, but the installation would not even start.
Anyone else having this issue? Any known workarounds?
This was my process:
Now I could install High Sierra again and then update to Catalina, but I want a fresh install.
Or maybe booting the installer from external drive might work, but I would prefer something simpler if possible.
I hope that it is just the installer that is bugged and that Apple will fix this quickly.
Does anyone know anything about this?
Rant: This is unacceptable, really.

This was my process:
- Booted in internet recovery mode (cmd-opt-R). Was asked to update but wiped the disk with disk utility instead.
- Rebooted again in internet recovery mode and chose the install option, which was now available
- The installer with the nice Catalina picture showed up asking "click continue to setup the installation"
- Verified in Apple menu the installer was indeed 10.15.1
- Clicked "continue", the button turned gray, then nothing
- Waited a couple of minutes, but nothing happenend
- The logs (cmd-L) showed some errors (something like "package authoring error, access requires /flle/path allow-external-script = true", I do not remember exactly)
- Tried PRAM-Reset, which worked, but the problem persists.
