The title says it all-- I've looked this up extensively on the web, but have found no solutions.
I am trying to use a USB stick Mojave installer I created with "Install Disk Creator" to install a clean copy of Mojave on an empty external hard drive (USB 3), and the install won't complete. Instead I get a folder named "macOS Install Data" on the external drive. I've tried reformatting the drive as APFS as well as the old Mac OS Extended, and have tried installing from the Recovery mode of my computer (a Mac Pro 5,1 running Mojave with a Metal graphics card flashed for Mac), and have the same problem no matter what I do.
Is there any way to force the install to complete?
