It really works when using this modified installer app directly from the desktop and installing B7. That was surprising!

After many attempts I have managed to install beta 7 on my iMac late 2012.
When I wanted to upgrade from Software Update, I went into a loop and returned to the desktop without applying beta 7.
I downloaded OpenCore Nighty, installed it on the Fusion Drive SSD, and without restarting I started Software Update. It has been downloaded and installed correctly!!!
Once beta 7 is installed, my surprise has been that Bluetooth is already working again, it is no longer necessary to write commands on the Terminal to have all the functionalities. As a negative point the graphic part, it had lost transparencies throughout the system and the animations were slower. The operating system recognized the graphics card but did not have Metal compatibility.
I have applied the OpenCore Patches, and when I restart I again have graphic acceleration and compatibility with Metal. Now everything works perfectly and better than any previous beta.
Very happy and hoping that the final version will be just as stable and without further surprises.

so on the open core patcher you pressed 2 and installed to the main HDD ?
With Fusion Drive, when you install OpenCore you can select SSD or HDD, I always choose SSD.
Once beta 7 was installed, I installed Opencore Patch.
Hello everyone, we're proud to announce OpenCore Legacy Patcher v0.2.5!
This release is one of our biggest yet including many long awaited features and fixes:
- Non-Metal Acceleration for Monterey
- Nvidia Kepler Acceleration for Monterey Beta 7+
- Wifi and Bluetooth support for legacy chipsets
- Support for AMFI usage on non-Metal GPUs (ie. native Security and Privacy usage)
- FileVault support for Root Patched Macs
- Offline variant of TUI (for those without internet who want to root patch)
- FirmwareFeature upgrading for Monterey Beta 7+ upgrades/installs
And I want to give a huge thank you to all the developers who've helped out greatly, including @dhinakg , @ASentientBot and @educovas as many of these fixes would not be possible without their amazing work!

Update on my installation progress: Although I downloaded the installer via Software Update (wich did not work previously) and again the standalone installer separately, whenever I try to run the installer, it insists to download yet another version of the installer eventually. ETA somewhat close to 6 hours. So far I was not able to update from b6 to b7. However I did apply OpenCore 0.2.5 in the meantime.

Used the steps mentioned above about running the beta installer from the local drive with the ShareComponent.dmg extracted from the latest pkg file (via The Unarchiver). Finally went through and per the latest OCLP note about post-install patching and breaking OTA updates, I figure I have to deal with either having OTA with unpatched install or go through similar process waiting for full installer.
I have not yet post-install patched as I didn't want to immediately break OTA, however my Retina MBP displays in the native Retina resolution 2880x1880 making things on my display pretty small. I'm leaning towards post-install patch to ensure I get HD4000 benefits (less power consumption and quieter operation). Any suggestion I can try before going down that post-install patch?

Beta 7 ON !!!
downloaded latest 0.2.5 Open Core and ran the patch to HDD by selecting 2 , ran the OTA update , 20mins later B7 on 2012 Mac mini.

Yup, but it seems it was even possible yesterday before the 0.2.5 OCLP, Nightly did it OR a new install of OCLP, who knows.
UPDATE: Took the plunge and applied the post-install patch from 0.2.5 OCLP, normal resolution restored and things better but I have a feeling I'll miss out on OTA. Tried SwitchResX before post-install and it did not provide any different resolution (the native Display control panel also did not have anything less than the retina resolution).
Installation went through eventually using open core patcher 0.2.5 without preparing a USB stick. 21A5522h MBP 9,2 Had to patch with open core patcher 0.2.5. after installation again in order to have Intel HD Graphics 4000 being recognised by the system properly.
Run open core patcher 0.2.5. / patch system volume again and reboot.
STUCK IN LOOP!!!!
Updated to B7 using the full installer FIX and got to a desktop than ran OCLP v0.2.5 that came out today and patched my Mac Pro 2010 17" and restarted and i'm at a login and i'm stuck in a loop.
I put my user and password in and it acts like its going to a desktop then it goes right back to the login screen!
Someone please help!
UPDATE: LOL, I forgot to set login to auto-login... Anyway, I don't bother with OTA anymore, I use a full installer key on all my Macs

the full install worked fine and I logged in and then ran the patcher and rebooted into a loop at login. Grrrr.
I used this method for the installer and the clicked on it on the desktop.. No USB key used.
1. Download Beta 7 from gibMacOS (21A5522h)
2. Run InstallAssistant
3. With The Unarchiver, unzip InstallAssistant
4. Right click the Install MacOS Monterey app from the Applications folder and Open Package Contents
5. Create a SharedSupport folder inside the Contents folder
6. Copy the contents INSIDE of SharedSupport.dmg (extracted from the InstallAssistant) to the SharedSupport folder inside the app
7. Run the installer as usual
Trying this all days and its not work here
everytime a message installer is damaged
