It is finally available to me. But no, I wasn't doing anything wrong. The full installer was dated older than what I already have installed.
Got a tip for us?

Did WindowServer also used a lot of memory? Maybe that was the issue and you ran out of memory and kernel_task began to swap. There's a big thread here in the subforums about that issue
.
If you were having trouble installing the new High Sierra beta, don't bother.
It deleted all my server settings as in passwords. Cannot send ANY MAIL!
Good job Timmy!
More bug reports I guess. Of course, I'll have to manually remember and put in all the Outgoing Server settings.
UGH!
I posted in bold because this same thing has been happening going back to Mavericks!
How does Apple keep doing the same mistakes for that many years? It's just unbelievable.

Installed Beta 4 on a Mid-2010 iMac and a late 2010 Macair. On the iMac it was 1.59 Gb in size and on the Macair 2.08Gb. Is the difference caused by a firmware update? Also, on the iMac I had to do the whole "download the Public Access Utility" process to get it but on the Macair it appeared in the updates section of the App Store with the Utility. Both are the same build number. Just curious. Anyone have any thoughts?
With the update before Beta 4, I had to go through the whole download the utility process but beta 4 came down through the app store like most of the previous ones EXCEPT beta 3. What Apple did during beta 3 I don't know but it really confused a lot of folks, me included.
Sorry to hear about your installation woes. In my case it's been a smooth and trouble free experience on both a 2011 MacBook Pro 17" (SSD) and a 2017 MacBook Pro 15". I had some wake from sleep issues on the 2011 MacBook Pro but they were resolved since the GM was released. Yesterday's 17B45a release is running very smoothly and error free on both laptops.If you were having trouble installing the new High Sierra beta, don't bother.

Beta 3 & 4 have both shown up as updates in the App Store for me, definitely not a full install.
In my case Beta 4 definitely required reinstalling the profile and then doing a full install of macOS 10.13.1 Beta 4. However Beta 5 showed up as an update via the App Store as have all other Betas except for Beta 4.
Haha! My bad. With all these betas coming out on macOS and iOS I jumped the gun. You are correct. I should have said:

Find that hard to believe, beta 3 was a 5 + GB download.
I am not calling you a liar, just that all posters here said it was a 5 GB full install except you.
Not sure what to tell you then, I didn't ask anyone to agree with me, I'm just stating how it has gone for me and my system so far. I installed HS early on as a beta and since the initial full install that I did all updates have come from the App store.

Then count yourself lucky. All the rest of the folks that I have read posts from had to go through the re-registration procedure and it was a pain in the behind.
macOS 10.13.1 Beta 5 was just released via the App Store. 2.08 GB for 2917 MacBook Pro 15".
Wait you mean Apple doesn’t put the brakes on all development and say “hurry everyone lets all work in emoji”. Every time there is a mention of emoji someone on this forum seems to think this is the case.
