Safari 17.3 fails to install on Ventura (maybe M2-specific?) [UPDATE: Fixed]

Interesting, M2 here as well
but you knew it already, I see 🙂
I tried to install Safari 17.3 on an external disk, got the same error, of course
But everything was left in a folder inside an image disk called
SafariSunburstDVentura617D37a.SafariCryptex
@bogdanw pointed at the script that could be the culprit
I could install everything manually. The only one is Safari that doesn't let me swap with the system one [17.2.1] because it says 'it's invisible'
For now I wait for Apple to fix it sometime

Yes M2 specific because I could not install on my MacBook Air 15 (M2) but I could install on my MacBook Pro 16 (M1).
"Safari Technology Preview is an experimental version of Apple's Safari browser for macOS aimed at developers. It offers an early look at technologies and features that may be introduced into future versions of Safari.
Apple's aim with Safari Technology Preview is to gather feedback from developers and users on its browser development process. Safari Technology Preview can run side-by-side with the existing Safari browser and while designed for developers, it does not require a developer account to download."

Safari Technology Preview doesn’t replace the release version, it installs alongside it.

Yes I know it, but at least I have a more recent version that should take care of eventual security issues
Ok I selected Ventura 13.6.4 from App Store, which started to download ok.
This is 12GB instead of 1GB.
Will this update my Studio in the same way...?
Usually as in the past, full installers worked better than just a part of the installer as they are in Software update
But it's up to you to decide
Apple has fixed the issue. I was able to install Safari 17.3 via via Software Update
Do you have a build number? I'm trying to find out if it's different than what I have
Safari 17.3 build 18617.2.4.11.11 for Ventura

Thank you. Mine is 18617.2.4.11.9. I wondered why Software Update was notifying me to "reinstall" something. Not the same.
solved for me too: downloaded and installed fine.
note: I had the impression that the download was larger than the previous one.

Mine is Version 17.3 (18617.2.4.11.11, 18617). Not sure if this makes sense. My OS is Ventura.
Have you tried to restart in macOS Recovery mode?
Depending if you have a silicon computer or an inter processor you should restart following this infos
Click on the one that applies to your computer and see if it fixes the issue
M2 Studio.
Yeah I read that document, but it should work through SU.....🤨
I will probably just wait till next update.
You shouldn't have any issues then, I have the same M2 Studio and installed perfectly.
