Critical error on installing assets in v9.0.0 to v9.0.1 upgrade

[skinnybloke]

I am trying to upgrade from Prestashop v9.0.0 to v9.0.1

I am using PHP 8.4 and v7.4.3 of the upgrade assistant. I have tried this with 3rd party modules and overrides enabled and disabled,

The file and database updates completed correctly, but I get this error when trying to install assets.

INFO - CoreUpgrader - Database update OK

If I refresh the screen or reopen the update assistant, the screen tells me that v9.0.1 has been installed correctly.

Any ideas?
