Description
The automatic option completes the installation process successfully. However, the Manual (Default) option will cause an error.
The error is Line 79: Join-Path: Command not found.
Looking at the detected file with sudo vim, I can see some unknown characters. Maybe an issue with non-English words?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Manual (Default) installation with a locale or local path containing special or non-English characters, then inspect the detected file and the reported Line 79 Join-Path failure. Compare this with the successful automatic option. Done means the manual path completes successfully without the Join-Path error while preserving detection for ordinary locales.
