<< Solved >> Trouble updating High Sierra to 2020-006

[lhn53]

Hi:
I have a High Sierra 10.13.6 (17G65), with OpenCore 0.6.7.
I'm trying to update it with it's 2020-006 dmg that I downloaded, and it keeps telling me:
"Security update 2020-006 can't be installed on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
I have tried in HFS+ and APFS and same result.
Keep in mind I don't have internet on the PC, and never have done any update on this High Sierra for that reason. So, I thought this was a cumulative update that I could use off-line.
I have search for hours for advice here and in internet and nothing.

Any idea what's going on?

Thanks very much.
Pardon my bad English.

You may need to install Security Update 2020-005 first before you can install 2020-006.

I suggest first downloading the 2020-005 Security Update and install that first.

Yes, I know that Apple's MacOS Security Updates are usually cumulative, but it may not true in this case.

Thanks very much for your answer Jamesbond007.
Do you think It would be necessary the 004, 003, 002, etc, first too?

No, I don't think so. It seems to me that 2020-006 has 2020-005 as prerequisite, but 2020-005 includes all previous security updates.

Do go ahead and try what I propose, and see if what I think is correct. Report back your result.

 

[lhn53]

Ok.
I'll do that as soon as possible, and will post the result.
Thanks a lot again.

Man jamesbond007, you were pretty right.
As you can see in this picture, I finally could update
High Sierra to the latest upd 006.
As you told me to do, I donwloaded the 005, and start
updating perfectly, then it let me install 006 perfectly too.
Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

Another subject. It's there any technic that let me "deploy"
those both updates (005, and 006) in the 10.13.6 17G65 installer?
My intention is to make a 10.13.6 17G14042 installer.
PS. Again, pardon my english.

Good. Just as I thought.

I don't know of a way to "slipstream" these security updates into the MacOS installer provided by Apple, sorry.

Ok it doesn't matter. Again, thanks a lot.
