If I'm understanding this correctly, the stack trace is not where the error is. The logic only gets to that point if there is a previous failure. I could update it to avoid that specific error, but that doesn't solve whatever previous error tripped it up. Obviously, error handling failed us here.

Can you give me any more info about the environment? it would be helpful to reproduce

It's a desktop PC equipped with an Intel Core i7-13700K processor, 64 GB of RAM, a 1 TB SSD, and two 4 TB HDDs. I was performing a fresh installation on the SSD when the issue occurred. I can only reproduce this issue on this specific machine.
