I restored my dte vm from backup. After verifying it was funtional running 7.4r1 I then applied the 7.4r2 patch again. I've verified the download's md5 previously. Here are the console messages I get.

I've attached the dump diagnostics messages I got from the console.
As a follow on. I applied 7.4R3 to my DTE running 7.4R1. This cause the same error as before. Rolling back to 7.3r3 allowed me to install 7.4r3. I"m working on a plan to upgrade my production 7.4r1 Active/Passive Cluster. How do I roll back the cluster or is this a juke in the DTE enviroenment? Has anyone move an SA4500 from 7.4r1 to 7.4r2 or 7.4r3?
I am considering my options on upgrading to 7.4r3. Has anyone succesffuly upgraded from 7.4r1 to any later code? Did you run into the issues that the IVE experience?
I've done the upgrade to 7.4R3 successfully on several hardware platforms; it does sound like you are hitting a fluke on the DTE appliance.
