    in a single run

  • update 7-Zip to 9.34 alpha
  • update default SUS catalog to the Apple 10.9 catalog

    were found was inaccurate
  • fix issue where 7-Zip would fail to find a 'Payload' archive; certain ESD DMGs
    recently expose only a 'Payload~' archive to 7-Zip, so we no longer assume
    both exist
brigadier - 0.2.0 (August 4, 2013)

Published by timsutton about 11 years ago

  • fix issues with Boot Camp installer not installing certain packages
    (particularly nVidia/Intel mgmt), by switching the '/qn' option to '/qr'
    • this runs a minimal GUI installation that still does not block for user
      input
  • fix proper detection of Windows version architecture for older CPUs
brigadier - 0.1.5 (April 15, 2013)

Published by timsutton over 11 years ago

Fixes:

  • fix failure to properly locate BootCamp MSI with latest AutoUnattend-based drivers. now search for BootCamp{64,}.msi starting from the root down, so we don't expect a specific folder hierarchy.
