Didn’t even know there was an issue until you tell us. And still don’t
know what that issue is because you have not provided sufficient details.
There are many ways to get community assistance with installation and
debugging, though this bug report forum isn’t one of them, but maybe the
third-party installation provider EDB will chime in with more helpful
comments anyway. In the meantime, if you’d like to do more than vent I’d
suggest following the instructions on the installer/s website:
