I've just installed this security update...twice.
Each time I restart and launch the App Store, it tells me that the same update is available to install and doesn't show that it already was installed.
Is anyone else getting this?
Does this mean that there install never happened or it's an App Store glitch?
 
it sounds like you never compelted install by booting from "install macOS" container upon reboot
the initial setup doesn't install ANYTHING, it just creates a boot partition, if you never boot into it then you'll see loop you have now

Forgive my noobness.
When I boot up my system, it boots up from the boot loader, in Configurator is called "EFI on APFS Container [High Sierra, PreBoot, recovery, VM]".
Have I been running this desktop the wrong way this whole time? :eek:
How would I even tell if I've been running my rig the wrong way?

there should be an install macOS boot partition that's only there cause you ran the security update/setup, you not seeing that after you run the update in app store and reboot? perhaps you accidentally hid that container in clover?
 
I'm having a similar issue. If I allow it to boot from that install boot partition, I get a message saying "Your computer restarted because of a problem." If I boot into regular partition I can see the install folder but Sec Up not installed.

I thought I had it figured out by putting Lilu and WhateverGreen into EFI/Clover/Kext/Other (as well as having it in L/E) but that wasn't the problem.

Attached is Apple error report.

In my BOOT folder nested in my EFI folder I have a "BOOTX64.efi" file. Is that what you mean?
 
I tried running it from the App Store and also a separate download and no luck, upon reboot I get "Boot macOS Install from High Sierra" running in a loop and when booting from macOS High Sierra partition, the Nvidia web driver needs to updated.
 
i also having a similiar issue like this after i tried security update 2018-002 for 10.13.6, here is the screenshot :

thx before

I was getting a similar screen when I tried to do the update. I just got it to install after a few tries. Here's what I did:

first failure happened downloading the update as normal booted up from my regular macOS partition. when I restarted, it put me right back to the clover boot loader and trying to boot from the install partition or install pre booter would lead me to the error screen you had.

What worked for me:
randomly i decided to work my way left to right across the clover boot loader icons, and i started by booting my computer from the "boot file vault prebooter from preboot" it brought me to my regular desktop, so I went to the app store and re downloaded the update. this time, when I hit restart, it said it was installing some stuff for a little bit, then restarted straight to a progress bar loading screen. eventually it restarted again and I ended up back at my clover boot loader menu. I tried booting from the "pre boot install something" option and it gave me a circle with a line thru it, so probably don't click that. I moved on to the "install macOS something" option and that continued my installation. i think it restarted again, then i chose my regular macOS drive, booted, updated nvidia drivers, and done.

TLDR:
booting from the "boot file vault prebooter from preboot" partition and starting the install from there seemed to work for me when I was getting errors installing.

unhide any boot partitions in the gui section of clover configurator on your config.plist
restart and boot from the "boot file vault prebooter from preboot" option in the clover boot loader
go to app store, download update, restart
update should start installing, computer will restart,
boot from the "install macOS something or other" option, install continues, computer restarts
boot from your regular macOS partition
update nvidia drivers
