Hello.
I have a problem of installation Lion in my mac mini.
I use UniBeast 5.2.0, And want install Lion 10.7.4.
When I run UniBeast select a destination and select Lion.app, program return error:
Your selected Mac OS X Installer is incomplete. Please delete all copies of the installer from all mounted volumes and redownload it again from the Mac App Store.

I tried to fix it by change date (I see this method in YouTube), but this resolve of problem not work for me.
How to fix it?
 
Why are you using Unibeast to install Lion on a real Mac mini ? Make the USB using createinstallmedia method instead. You don't need UniBeast (or Multibeast) for a real Mac. It's for booting the installer on PC hardware.

If you want an app with a GUI try an app like Diskmaker X. They have older versions that work with Lion.

Looks like the version number is 2.0.2 That works with Lion.

Here's the manual way to do it if you're so inclined.

I tried, and DiskMaker didn't work on my .dmg file.
DiskMaker return that error:

This because my .dmg file is specific, and installer not have a normal file system.
In Install Mac OS X lion.app not have SharedSupport.

I need to install another Install Mac OS X lion.app disk, or have another way how to install lion on my mac?
 
Where did you download the .DMG from ?
 
What is your Mac mini? 32-bit models are unsupported.
