Windows 10 version 1709 not installing.

When I dug down into the registry they way you suggested and I do not have the UpgradeMigration folder.  Any other places to look?

I've complete the migration, I don't have this key anymore.
Try to access it while you get the window asking you to manually remove trend micro, because I think that if you cancel the installation, the key is removed.

Hello there bpb118!

We would like to apologize for the delay in response

You may want to try to uninstall the Trend Micro program through the Diagnostic Toolkit. If I understand this correctly, the system is asking you to remove an older version (2007 version). This will require the Old version of the Diagnostic Toolkit as well. 

Kindly click on this link and refer to the detailed instructions provided:

Uninstalling Trend Micro Security and older programs for Windows using the Diagnostic Toolkit

We will be looking forward for the positive results. 

All the best,

Having the same issue on the 1709 update:

Some apps need to be uninstalled
These programs need to be uninstalled because they aren't compatible with the upgrade.

• Trend Micro Internet Security 2009

I click "Uninstall and continue" and Windows says:

We couldn't uninstall these apps
You'll need to remove these apps yourself, and then select Refresh.
These programs need to be uninstalled because they aren't compatible with the upgrade.

• Trend Micro Internet Security 2009

I have tried:
1) uninstalling my current version of Trend Micro Internet Security 2018
2) running the Trend Micro Remnant File Remover tool
3) running the Diagnotstic Toolkit suggested above
4) manually searching for the words Trend in the registry (none found)
5) manually searching for any files called Trend on the C drive (none found)
6) reinstalling the current version of Trend Micro Internet Security 2018

and nothing works.

You should have an old installation program on your PC, try my solution to find it, look at the registry when you have the popup open saying you have to remove the program manually.

Regards,

Hello Christophe, and thank you for your suggestion.

Hello cale and welcome to the community.

Aside from doing the steps that Christophe has suggested. Please try to find the name "TMAS" on the Registry editor and on the C: drive or any other drives that you have. And also please find the "windows.old" folder on the C: drive or other drives and delete them and check if the issue still persist.

I hope this helps, we will wait for your reply.

Thank you and have a great day!

There are hundreds of instances of "TMAS" on my machine.  Any suggestions for easy removal?  Would uninstalling TM do the trick?

Hi,

Read all the answers!

Kind regards,
Tom

Like the other user, I didn't have that registry key. Checked during install as well.
Searching for 'TMAS' in the registry provided zero results.
But deleted every file or folder with the words TMAS in them that could potentially be related, finally one of them worked, not sure which one though, thanks!

Hello everyone!

Thank you for your inputs! Anyway, bpb118, you might want to try the solutions provided by our community members. I will also provide a detailed solution below to fix this issue.

Step 1: Check what file Windows is detectingby going to registry entry: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/WindowsNT/CurrentVersion/AppCompatFlags/UpgradeMigration"

Step 2: Delete the file in registry entry’svalue data (There should be a path file under the tab 'Data'. Kindly delete that specific file.)

Step 3: Try Doing a Windows update again.

Note: If registry entry does not exist, use Windows searchto search for the following keywords:
       - TAV
       - TIS
       - TISPro

Kindly delete any folder or installer relatedto these keywords (confirm if they are Trend Micro program related files)

Feel free to reply to this thread if you have any questions, so we can assist you further.

After putting off the task or removing the old bits and pieces of TM2007, I finally just uninstalled my current copy of TM2017.  There were still old 2007 files on my PC so I searched and found them, deleted them and then reinstalled TM2017.  After removing all the old TM2007 files I was able to install the Windows 1709 upgrade.  Thank you everyone for your help and suggestions.
