Mission impossible was my initial thought … but here we are .. me typing from my newly installed windows 10 after the initial problems.
I must thank everyone for the links, I never realised what a minefield I could have been letting myself in for. Plenty people wanting to sell you the answer. Would it work.. who knows, my wallet stayed closed and much Googling led me to someone who was a programmer and who couldn't see what all the fuss was about.
Many people said delete a file from the registry, the only problem was the file didn't always have the same name. No way was I taking a chance was my first thought. But upon reading this guys advice
in the end it was a fairly simple task, providing you had the right information.
For anyone who comes across this problem while upgrading and it seems as though there are thousands out there. Try this .. it is so simple.
What you do is rename a file instead of deleting it..
Go to …
Start ..
Search..
Type in .. C:\swsetup
Select .. Protect Tools
Click once on.. Protect Tools..
Then rename it to .. Protect Tools-org
It appears that by renaming it, the Windows Installer (Windows Media Creation Tool) no longer recognises it as the Infineon TPM Package. Then go back to the installer and click refresh and the installation should carry on with very little help !
Must admit I broke open a bottle of Waggle Dance earlier before I fixed it .. just untopped another for the celebration .. Cheers Everyone !
