Hi, attempted the repair/in place upgrade again, and it dies with "Setup can't continue. Restart the computer and restart Setup. When prompted try getting the latest update"
I did try as it suggested but it quits with the same error, is it safe to surmise that this behavior is due to the system being unable to perform updates?
It would be great if we could get to the point where the in-place upgrade works, I am more than happy to go down that route. Rebuilding this box from scratch is going to be a whole world of pain.
Please help me Noel, you are my only hope... :)
