[QUOTE="honestone33, post: 1831462"] Good god!!! Talk about having difficulty reading! I did see that, and you [B]specifically stated[/B] "unless you have recently enabled your Spotlight to work as DiskMaker X [B]relies[/B] on it as it tries to find the OS X Install program with Spotlight ". That [B]says[/B] it needs Spotlight to find the Installer file. Definition of rely: [url=https://www.macmillandictionary.com/us/dictionary/american/rely]rely (verb) American English definition and synonyms | Macmillan Dictionary[/url] Look at #2 in that link. Fortunately, the developers of the program do not have tunnel vision, as they provided a logical (and expected) method of getting the file. Additionally, I have used DiskMaker X in the past, without Spotlight turned on, and it worked the same. I might try to copy the Installer file to my Applications folder and launch DiskMaker X to see if it automatically selects that file in the Applications folder. If it does, that would also say Spotlight is not needed. [/QUOTE]
