Data files do not convert after install Sage 100 2017 Update 6.

SOLVED

Hello all I install 2017 Update 6. Seems to install without issue. When I launch any program, AR, AP, Payroll, doesn't matter it informs me I need to convert my company data. I tell it to covert the data, selected both "all" companies or just my current company, it goes through the paces and it appears to have done the conversion.  I try launch any program again, same thing, it tells me I need to convert the company data files. has anyone else seen this? If so how do I fix it?  

Since I make a complete folder copy backup before I do any updates I was able to "restore" my working copy without issue and try again. This is what I have tried to get past this issue.

Rebuild Sort Files, Rebuild Key Files and Analyze and Relink Files for my primary company. Then install the update again.
The logs did show some data files with "invalid" data in some fields, but nothing it didn't resolve.
I did not see any error log files produced.

The data conversion did say I would have to re-install the Timecard module. But beyond that no other messages, errors or otherwise came up outside of the usual update screens.

Thanks in advance,

Bill

    I saw this once with an enhancement (and DSD helped by updating it).

    This issue is resolved.  had to uninstall T/C from our company and then run the data conversion.  

    this was the fix....
