Error message on downloading Mojave

I keep getting the same error message and Mojave won't download: "An error occurred validating the installer data. The download is either damaged or incomplete. Re-download the installer and try again" (and again.....tried 7 times). Anyone else getting this issue?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Thanks for getting back to us , shags2207. It's appreciated. Since you weren't able to install the upgrade while in safe mode, it's time for you to contact Apple Support.


Apple - Support - Product Selection -- After selecting this link, choose Mac notebooks > Installations & Updates, then select the method you'd like to contact them with.


Regards.

Greetings, shags2207.


I see that you're receiving an error when you attempt to update your MacBook Pro. I'm happy to help.


Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac -- Restart your Mac in safe mode and see if you're able to download the installer. If you're still unable to upgrade, try a different Wi-Fi network or connect your Mac to the internet via an ethernet connection.


Take care!
