    1st level Microsoft support exhausted all options at their end today - Sun Sept 18. Windows build 1511 and new latest 1607 will not install on 1 out of 6 Windows 10 machines.

    Escalated to Microsoft Tier Level 2 support. I am scheduled for a callback tomorrow Mon Sept 19 - between 4:30pm to 6:00pm from Microsoft Tier Level 2 support.

    more to come...

    Regards,
