Could not create a preboot volume for APFS install - beta2

[ardleyd]

I have beta 1 installed, I have downloaded the profile for beta 2, when I install, after a few minutes of installing, I get the the error Could not create a preboot volume for APFS install.

Any ideas ?

That seems to have worked. Thanks for the tip!

I just retried the install and it worked the 2nd time. I didnt reboot or anything prior to re-installing.

I got an error to install, then pressed restart... now it seems to be trying again..? Kind of worrisome.

I'm having this problem as well. I've tried rebooting, reinstalling, reformatting, and I even formatted a spinner APFS and tried installing to that. Same problem.

After the first error, I restarted and it automatically went through the install again without prompt, and installed properly.

Now I'm having a different problem after re-downloading.
