Tranquil IT Forum

Hello,
I want to upgrade clients who are currently on Windows 10 version 1809 (OS build 17763.x) to version 1909 (OS build 18363.x),
thus skipping version 1903 (OS build 18362.x).
To do this, I downloaded the following two packages from the Microsoft Store (they are the only packages that indicate "upgrade"):

tis-windows10-upgrade_10.0.18362-16_a3777e0a4e546c21da61efbaa9bb5007.wapt
and tis-windows10-upgrade-data_10.0.18362-10_e0c769dbf0cc5d465dab3d8e5d10d059.wapt.
Note that their names indicate the version number. 18362, which corresponds to Windows 10 version 1903. The version I want to skip!

I have the uncompressed ISO of Windows 10 version 1909 available (the version I want to install).

Using the Wapt Enterprise console, I generated a package template for each of the packages
tis-windows10-upgrade_10.0.18362-16_a3777e0a4e546c21da61efbaa9bb5007.wapt
and tis-windows10-upgrade-data_10.0.18362-10_e0c769dbf0cc5d465dab3d8e5d10d059.wapt.
Then I edited the folder (see attached screenshot):
C:\waptdev\tes-tis-windows10-upgrade-data_10.0.18363-10_e0c769dbf0cc5d465dab3d8e5d10d059-wapt

and placed the extracted Windows ISO file there. Windows 10 version 1909.

To test, I assigned the two packages obtained—
tes-windows10-upgrade and tes-windows10-upgrade-data—

Results:
tes-windows10-upgrade-data is OK and is correctly installed on the client.
However, tes-windows10-upgrade is showing an error.
See cpecran-erreur.png in the attached file.
With the following log:

But what went wrong?
Thank you for your help.

Good morning

The package contains: The contents of the ISO file must be in the ISO folder

Hello,
"In the package we find:" I imagine you mean in the
tis-windows10-upgrade-data package?
But I don't have any "iso" folder in this package or the other one either.

I'm answering my own question. Actually, you need to edit the tes-windows-upgrade-data package with the wapt console editor to see the ISO folder. This folder doesn't appear in a regular file browser!
Question: Do you have any documentation on the subject of "upgrading Windows 10"?

Despite the change, there is still the same error:

The WindowsUpgrade folder already exists, continue.

Does the folder already exist on the machine?

Yes, I checked that. But it only contains two files: Psexec.exe and README.txt.
So what should I do?
Delete it and start over? Or what?

Yes, indeed, on the test machine you can delete the c:\WindowsUpgrade folder.

Do not replace it if it already exists.
