(Optional) Do you agree to upload the file "diagnose.result" to the online pastebin (https://0x0.st)?
Notes:
1. It is a public service and the logfile will be expired in 15 days.
2. You should have a look at the content of "diagnose.result" before agreeing to upload it.
3. Only agree when necessary, typically when you are creating an issue and not able to upload the "diagnose.result" file there or copy-paste the output directly.
y=yes, n=no (default) ====>
Uploading aborted.
Step 3. Describe the issue
The installer stops when run more than once. after I press enter it runs normally, so it's not a critical issue, but I think it's still a bug.
