Installed Windows HLK on Windows Server 2022 datacenter. Installation completed with no error. But when trying to launch HLK studio, following error occurred. How do I debug this?

Exception Details:

    I forgot to update this post. I was able to figure this one out - the root cause was that I had a very long computer name(see my error message, 'inst-builder-modify-create-image-disk-1s194'). The HLK installer tries to use the computer name as the datastore name, but it truncates it, so the datastore name ends up shorter than the full computer name('inst-builder-mo'). However, when HLK Studio launches, it still tries to use the full computer name(again, see the error message I posted), hence the error.
