While upgrading my macOS from Sierra to High Sierra this morning on my MBPr 15” (late 2014), I had a message that it could not be installed with this computer along with the error:
OSInstall.mpkg appears to be missing or damaged

I tried a opt-cmd-R and no partition will even show in the Disk Utility. Everything is just wiped out!!!
Trying to reinstall macOS wouldn’t see any disk to install the OS on.

Now I’m just hoping the Time Capsule isn’t corrupt...

What a nice birthday present Apple! :-(

Did someone experienced something similar and could solve it without wiping everything?
 
Exactly the same happened to my MBP 13" (late 2010) yesterday.
Hard Drive won't show up in disk utility anymore. I removed the drive put in into an external case and tried connecting to my other Computers. It didn't show up in any of them.
Put in a new formated drive in but the MacBook got stuck at installing at 25 minutes remaining. So cmd+R and internet recovery didn't work so well.
At the moment it is restoring from my last backup on an external drive. Hope it will work.
