I have not seen this issue on any other deployments.

1. Try re-installing Sitecore and deploying again.
2. Make sure your Sitecore version is 10.1.x, this package was compiled specifically for that version.

When you say the zip file was moved, moved to where?

i have tried several time to installing this module. we are using 10.1.1 i have moved that zip file to "App_Data\packages"

@sitecorerick i have tried to install it in fresh sitecore instance but still getting this error.

Ok I have seen this error on a few unusual Sitecore installs. Here's how to fix it:

1. _In /App_Config/Include/Feature/Constellation.Feature.Redirects.config file:_ Comment out lines 66-71, which should correspond to the <initialize/> element.
2. _In /App_Config/Include/Feature/Constellation.Feature.Redirects.config file:_ Comment out lines 99-018, which should correspond to the <packageVerifier/> element.

Manually install Constellation-Feature-Redirects-Items.zip using the Sitecore Package Installer on the Sitecore Desktop.

At this point the DLLS and Files should be in place to run the application from within the Desktop, and the Items required to store Redirect information should also be installed.

Note: Your system needs to be able to return a "200" response to any Redirect you create. If you have bugs in your system and are getting 500s, the Redirect Manager will not let you create a Redirect. Make sure your site works first.

Redirect Manager does not support wildcards. If you need wildcard redirects, use IIS UrlRewrite 2.1, which is installed as part of Sitecore's installation scripts.

If the Redirect Manager interface does not seem to be working, rebuild your Master index. If the Master index is not healthy, the Redirect Manager interface (which relies on buckets) will not work.

I had same issue on Sitecore 10.3, so it must be a general thing..
