I had a similar issue, but not with missing components, but with missing prerequisites. Since it was easily resolved I did not need to involve support,so I just want to share it here, so others don't run into the same. In my case the prerequisites missing were "Microsoft System CLR Types for SQL Server 2014" and "Microsoft Report Viewer Redistributable 2015". Luckily I still had the ISO from the last version and could install these from there. After that the update was successful.
As to why these were missing in the first place: After the Installation of 12.3 we migrated the configuration database from SQL-Express to the PostgreSQL Instance that was installed with 12.3. I then went and uninstalled the MS-SQL and corresponding components on the VBR Server since it was no longer needed. In this case I seem to have uninstalled these two components as well, not knowing they are not part of the SQL but needed for the VBR.
Interestingly enough the VBR worked the whole time without issue, so I am unsure for what exactly these two components are used. Maybe some feature we aren't using.
