[Solved] The installer resources were not found

Try disable all other drives in your bios pci/sata config except the installation drive. It works for me.

Glad to see Im not the only one with this issue. I have tried everything mentioned unto post 27 and more before. I'll try these last suggestions and let you all know how it goes. Thanks everyone.

UPDATE: So suggestions from post 27 didn't work for me, I already had it disabled in Bios but I did get it to work.

I deleted all installation files from my main drive but still had a "Prebooter" option in Clover. Turned out there was more on my data drive. (I have all user data on a HDD so I cannot unplug it without issues since the user folder is stored there. I already unplugged all other drives) I forgot that at one point I moved the "Install Mojave app" over there.

Sadly this still left a "Prebooter" option in Clover. which had me a bit stumped. So using terminal to list disk showed the Prebooter APFS volume. I mounted it and though about just deleting all the data but instead I unmounted and deleted the entire volume. Rebooted again and finally!! all "Prebooter" options were gone in clover. I then re-dowloaded the install app for good measure and install when smoothly.

I know there are a lot of posts about hiding the prebooter entries in Clover but if you're not using FileVault it might be a good idea just to delete them. If I understand correctly the installer should have cleaned up after itself and done it anyways.

Anyone able to figure out other methods?
I have a full functioning 10.13.6 unable to upgrade via app store... also made a usb installer via unibeast. I have NVME which the high sierra working... trying to do fresh install on Black WD. I get the following errors attached:

Seems to be a few reasons for this:

Pulling nvme drive worked for me, couldn't find how to disable in bios.

What a bad solution... Always remove hard drives from your hack when install any updates?

I had to disconnect my other drives . Then it started installing.

Somewhere it’s finding the wrong path from an old install or something . From the log....

“Found automation hint cookie. Will use URL: x-osproduct://XXXUIDXXX....”

That UUID no longer exists , but I don’t know where it’s coming from. Once I removed the other drives it couldn’t find that automation cookie, so instead looked in the correct location (or could continue properly at least... possibly setting a new value)

Should have listened to the advice here and disconnected drives 3 days ago, but I believe I’ve found out why it’s happening at least

Thank you guys! Unplugging all drives solved stall at "Less than a minute remaining..." in the end of installation process with subsequent "Installer resources weren't found" error.
