Anyone successfully triple booting?

Hi, All: I'm mulling a rebuild of the various OS on my 2013 vintage Airbook. I have VMware, and I've used it more or less successfully. But, there are times on the road where I don't need to switch among the various installed OS. These are times were direct access into one OS will be sufficient.

Re: On the brink of insanity trying to update OS 10.12.2

Scott, Christine did say 10.12.2, so I'd assume that it's the MacOS that is causing the frustration. It sounds to me that the Installer log is confused. There are ways of editing the log, but it would probably be much easier simply to find the stand-alone installer for 10.12.2 on Apple's site
