Also add what you already tried so far.
I tried it once, it failed. I retried it, repeated issue. I deleted the RedM exe, redownloaded it, placed it in it’s independent folder to not flood Downloads and possibly rely on being there (Minecraft modded days of old), and retried for the third time. This last time was a total restart before trying. It consistently gets through to the end, or near it, then gives this error.
