My success with installing macOS onto Hackintoshes has been roughly 60% since I first attempted back in 2014. The last two systems (Gigabyte Z3xx-series and Gigabyte Z97-series) pretty much were the least painful installs I’ve dealt with, the installations going flawlessly (I wish the others were that painless).
However
On a whim—and needing to build a small form factor Hackintosh—I picked up an MSI B360I Gaming Pro AC motherboard in the hopes of building up an 8th gen Core i5 Mac Mini killer for my sons to use; none of the other mini-ITX form factor mobos were available for under $200.00. I found a reasonably-priced MSI B360I on NewEgg. Built it up yesterday. I followed the MSI 9 Series Motherboard setup thread here (since nothing specific to my particular MSI motherboard was found):

Yet, once I select the USB installer from the boot menu, I get the Apple logo with a status bar for roughly eight seconds, then I get the “DENIED” symbol. Any clues as to how to go about getting this system working would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
