This update did not go as easily as previous updates and only was successful on the 6th try. I updated the machine to the latest Clover build, updated apfs.api, and edited config.plist for USB fix. I then started the direct macOS update from the app store but had 3 failures (rapid re-boots with clearly zero progress). The 4th try started off promising with a brief progress bar showing up, but it then gave the "Mac OS X can't be installed on this computer" error message.
Time for combo update. I rebooted into 10.13.5 and downloaded the combo update thinking that there might be a conflict between my OS X 10.13.5 and the incremental update from the app store. First attempt to install combo update was more promising with a "calculating time remaining" message coming up, but then it restarted yet again without indicating any progress. Finally I attempted the install of the combo update in verbose mode assuming I'd need a screenshot of the error being encountered. Unexpectedly this 6th attempt to install update (in verbose mode) went past the "calculating time remaining" message and began counting down the time remaining for the successful update and it then was completed. Updated NVIDIA driver so back to work.
