Hello - I am having these same issues with the Enterprise ISO image. I've gone through all the same troubleshooting as you, attempted different install WIMs and setup.exe parameters, but it always fails at the same place (with McAfee/Trellix AV uninstalled from the machine). If Trellix DLP is detected, then that causes the migration to fail during the SafeOS portion due to locked registry keys (thanks, Trellix), but otherwise, I'm experiencing the same headaches you are.
