Before you begin to install the software, check your workstation's /etc/group file and make sure that group staff exists. The software installation will fail if group staff does not exist before you begin.

I got the same problem and I have checked the /etc/group file. It shows:

root::0:

other::1:root

.

staff::10:

.

nogroup::65534

So the staff exists already. How comes it is stopped in the post install script?
