How Do I Install The System 7.5.5 Update?
Posted by: CC_333 on 2017-03-28 07:45:34
I keep trying, and It keeps asking for "System 7.5.5 Update - Disk 1" no matter what I do.

I tried fooling the installer by using disk images, but it outsmarted me, and said that it was the "improper" copy.

This is the net installer, which should work.

Ideas?

When I unstuffed the 7.5.5 updater it created a bunch of folders that I assume are what the individual disks would have been named.  Did yours just dump into one single folder?

I tried that, and it still doesn't work.

I got it!

I ended up finding the official 7.5.5 disk images on Macintosh Garden, and they're installing as I write.

Glad you were able to get it resolved. The disk images are also a part of the legacy recovery CD for anyone interested.
