Cause

The patch utility is unable to find the registry values necessary for a successful upgrade, this is caused by the regional settings being outside of English (US)

Resolution

If the server is currently in this state
  1. Uninstall/Re-install the Carbon Black Protection application
If after the install has been reverted to the backup taken prior to upgrade
  1. Open Control Panel > Select "Region"
  2. Select the Administration Tab > "Change System Locale..."
  3. Change the Current System Locale to English (United States)
  4. Reboot the machine
  5. Perform the patch upgrade

Additional Notes

  • This only affects the patching utility, the full installer does not experience this
  • System Locale can be changed back to the true Region after successful upgrade
