If you look in Portals/_default/Logs you should see some log files per day as well as InstallerLogxxxxxx files. Check if you can spot more clues in there related to this error. If you created this issue https://github.com/dnnsof...Platform/issues/7554 you could also add that information there about any clue related to that.
