Just picked up again this morning.
The good news is that whatever we try, I can still use my laptop, as you see, so the system is running however with old Windows.
Interesting development happened
- I downloaded the Fixlist for EnglishFRST.
- I ran EnglishFirst and execute Fix option, this was a very short action, however there was a fix, the fixlog is uploaded.
- I re-ran the setup as admin, and very interesting now, it continued after the screen "getting thing ready for you to install", it effectively started the installation of Windows 11, on a blue screen, with a Percentage counting up. Unfortunately it stopped suddenly at 62%, with a small screen "installation failed".
- The CrashDump Directory in the C:\ is empty, no dump
- I checked the $WINDOWS.~BT folder in sources directory to rename the appraiserres.dll or move it somewhere else, however during this action, all of a sudden there were changes in the sources directory and all the file disappeared. There are now only some directories, including Panther and Rollback
- Now there is a Panther and Rollback directory (before the Rollback was not there). I also zipped them together like before and uploaded them. I added today's date with a subnumber"-1" to the file name to keep track of all the versions.
- Will try to do another install now, knowing that appraiserres.dll is not there anymore.
- The windows security window still shows an empty screen.
The uploaded files, Panther_Rollback, Fixlog are here:

I noticed, after reboot and launching the setup again, the files in Windows.-BT reappeared. The installation crashed again, before the installation was started (during window getting things ready to install)
I also noticed this created now a crashdump (also uploaded, setuphost.exe.12176.dmp) ) so after the EnglishFRST fix, at least the installation started up to 62%, now it crashed before starting installing.
