macOS Mojave install Error 7E7AEE96CA

I have upgraded macOS many times in the past without issues. However, I have tried and failed in upgrading to Mojave 3 times. Each time I get an ERROR_7E7AEE96CA. And each time I had to restore the last macOS version from my Time Machine backup.


I am using an iMac (27 inch, late 2012) model running macOS High Sierra v10.13.6


Any advice would be appreciated. Txs!

Hi ALL


My problem has been compounded. I don't think this error has to do with Mojave at all. I was just trying to install the latest software update (Security Update 2018-003 10.13.6) and I got the same ERROR_7E7AEE96CA.


Last night, I successfully update my MacBook, MacBook Pro & iMac (21" late 2013 model). Why is it only happening to my oldest iMac? Does anyone know why this is happening?
