-The macOS installer of Isabel has 2 major deficiencies:
+====== Repackaging Isabel Security Components for macOS ======
-  * It runs an AppleScript during installation, assuming that a user is logged in.
-  * It assumes that the DMG image is mounted while installing the PKG installer package.
-These make it impossible to perform a silent install, e.g. through Munki or installer. In order to overcome this limitation, we must make some adjustments to the postinstall script responsible for these actions.
+===== Why repackage? =====
-Open the DMG.
+The macOS installer of Isabel has some major deficiencies. It tries to access resources not in its installer, tries to manipulate the Dock of the active user, tries to interact with Finder, and uses the ''security'' command.
+These make it impossible to perform a silent install, e.g. through Munki or ''installer''. In order to overcome this limitation, we must make some adjustments to the scripts responsible for these actions.
+Note that I did this for version 6.33.19, but I suspect other versions to have the same general issues.
+===== Repackaging procedure =====
+Download the Isabel installation disk image from the [[https://www.isabel.eu/nl/multibanking/support/downloadzone_mac.html|download zone]] and open it.
 Extract the package to a working location.
