I currently have MacOS Sierra 10.12.6 and I am trying to install Mojave. However, in the middle of installation, it says "Error occurred, please re try"

and then I retry and it keeps saying the same thing..

Unexpected Error when installing Mac OS Mojave Hello, I work in a college and over the summer I've started to update our 14 macs to Mac OS Mojave. (Due to a 8bit/16bit software issue we couldn't update sooner). 12 of the macs have completed the installation without any issues at all. 2 macs however get to the last 5 seconds of the installer and report an 'unexpected error' and then exit the installation. I'm upgrading from Sierra to Mojave, although on one of the macs I installed High Sierra first as a 'stop-gap' to see if that would then let me install Mojave but this didn't work either. I have already tried installing through Safe Mode and checked that the time is correct on the Mac. I can't think of anything that has been done on these macs that would be different to the other 12 which were successful. Can anyone suggest why this is happening? I need to get these two updates ASAP so that students can begin coursework on them from W/C 9th September.

Try the download from a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262

Then try the install from SafeBooot mode as well.
