  1. after downloading all files, iTunes 12.8.2, Safari 12.0.3 and Security Update 2019-001 10.12.6 it shows this message:
    so I clicked on download & restart
  2. ok, now everything is good and waiting for progress bar to complete:
    anytime I tried after failure restart, it started at 1.12 Gb!
  3. and after downloading things wait for restart:

  5. and error happened :
    and I clicked restart
  6. MacBook restarted and go to MacOS again
  7. and now this message showing up:

  8. and now if i click on install, it goes to step one again. and everything repeated as I said in this list.

Somehow your installed copy of Safari became corrupted.

Delete Safari, then reinstall your current version of macOS. That will reinstall a good copy of Safari, and then you should be able to install any updates.
