Error updating to 10.15.4

When attempting to update from 10.15.3 > 10.15.4, I get the "An error occurred installing the update." I've already tried updating in Safe Mode. The machine is a MacBook Pro 16. I welcome any tips. Thanks.

You could try the standalone updater.

I had the same problem except I didn't get any error message. I would click the button to install the update, then click Restart when prompted. The computer would restart but then after I logged in the update had not occurred. No message except "an update is available".


The standalone updater told me there wasn't enough disk space. Too bad the automatic updater couldn't have told me that.
