[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1842557, member: 38864"] I wouldn't recommend either if something newer can be run (unless one specifically needs Snow Leopard for Rosetta). He just needs one or the other of these as a path to getting the El Capitan installer to run. I'll confess this is a bit of a nuisance. Apple is freely making El Capitan, Sierra, and High Sierra freely available to download and install without going through the App Store, but making it so you have to have at least Snow Leopard already installed is making this unnecessarily hard. I also don't get the point of running an installer to create the installer. Just update the [COLOR=#333333]“Install OS X El Capitan” app so it can be run from 10.5 also and just put that in the DMG file. They are a multi-billion dollar company. They can figure this out.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
