The PiVPN install doesn’t work, I get the following error:  
“The PiVPN installer was not successful and/or cancelled prior to its completion.  
Would you like DietPi to run the PiVPN installer again?”

When I click on ok to repeat the installation process I get the same fault again (like in a loop).

Do you use dietpi-software to install PiVPN?

I had this recently but it was resolved by trying again after a reboot
