Installing macOS 13 Ventura Beta

Hello, I almost always run the newest macOS Beta software on my Mac and the same for IOS Devices I have. Until now I have never had a problem with installation.

It is my understanding that my Mac Mini (Late 2014 Model) is capable of running the new Ventura OS. I have downloaded and installed the macOS Public Beta Access Utility.DMG. But when I run the software update all it will gives me is the last update for Monterey 12.5 How do I get the new Ventura Beta? I have been referred here from The Apple Support Community.

I must be doing some little thing wrong. But for the life of me , I can’t put my finger on it.

Any help getting this installed would be greatly appreciated. Signed, Frustrated on the Ventura Freeway!

This might be a bug in the beta 5 installer. I have the same problem trying to upgrade from Ventura beta 3 to beta 5. It downloads the beta 5 upgrade and restarts the Mac but never installs the new beta. I am running an M1 Mac Mini.

BTW, can someone tell me how to install the Download Restore Image?

It is an ipsw file and I can't figure out how to install it.

So have you found a work-around for it yet?

No work-around for me. I even tried reformatting my external drive and installing Monterey. Then tried the Ventura beta install with no luck.
