All I can get is the 19.9MB version
Here's what I'm doing: Open app store, click on Hight Sierra banner at top, click open, I'm presented with a window that says "To set up the installation of macOS High Sierra, click continue", I click continue, agree to license, click install, it says wait about 11 minutes, I wait about 11 minutes, then it says it's gonna reboot in 30 seconds or something like that, I quit the install, check my app folder and see the install package is 19.9MB. I've done this twice now.
If I then try to run the terminal command...
/Applications/"Install macOS High Sierra.app"/Contents/Resources/startosinstall --converttoapfs NO --agreetolicense
...I get the helper tool crashed error. After some searching it appears that the command might need the full installer to work.
