Here's a link for v1.2.3.

My Krypton userdata is located at C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata. All builds after that are portable installs. I have v1.2.5 ready to upload...just need to complete the Matrix and Nexus versions and it will be ready to rock.

@latts9923
So the problem could actually be related to the operating system. Maybe with the location of the Userdata folder in Windows?
Windows %APPDATA%\Kodi\userdata

Could %APPDATA% be the problem? In my installation the folder is in the default location - so it is not redirected:
C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata

I have admin rights on the PC I'm running it on.
If anything needs to be tested on Windows (11 - x64) after the release of 1.25, I am happy to help.

What I have done to make this process easier is to manually download the file via the link in the first post by Latts9923 and then placing the .zip file under %APPDATA%\Kodi\addons\packages once I start Kodi, it notifies me that there is an update and I manually apply it. (I have Kodi to notify and NOT download updates automatically).

Same installation error as with MOD version 1.2.4.
Version 1.2.5 will only stop installation process with a forced KODI shutdown. I restarted KODI and MOD 1.2.5 finalizes settings and returns to home screen.  I tried MOD 1.2.5 on two different systems, same result.

Thank you very much for your continuing work on these skin MODS!!

However I still encountered the Finalizing Settings loop which required a forced closing of Kodi. Following the restart of Kodi the settings reset completed. Restoring saved settings worked fine.

How do you close Kodi when it's in this loop? Via the task manager? I keep getting into this loop, regardless of whether I close it using ALT+F4 or the task manager. After the next restart the loop starts again.

I had the same red circle loop happen to me once and only on a windows machine when installing V. 1.2.3 in a new install I just hit the back button on my keyboard several times and this restarted the process, after that it continued smoothly; I did not have to use task manager or restart Kodi.
About the MQ7/8 Dialogues, it happen to me too once in a windows machine.
When you download an update Kodi decompresses the zip file under C:\Users\"current_user"\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons\temp and then it places the decompressed file under C:\Users\"current_user"\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons, I believe here is when something goes wrong, the script files were corrupted during this transactions.
So I did tried again a Linux PC and the process went smoothly, that way I proved meself that the script and skin was OK, so I went back to the windows PC and I did the update fully manually and this time I did not have either the red circle loop process or the dialogues failing to apply to the MQ7 info and extended info script.
Another thing I will check is the antivirus, it might be interfering the decompression and placement of the files.
I hope this helps anyone.
Best regards,
Gilogo.

P. S. it seem that the red circle loop is an older problem and not just on @latts9923 mod.
Kodi MQ9 stuck at red circle loop

I think, if we want to create a really comparable situation, it would be helpful if someone who has installed 1.24 or 1.25 under Windows (!) without any errors backed up his settings again, reset the settings via the skin settings and then checked whether the Setup can be completed. And then writes down his steps exactly so anybody can recreate them.
Otherwise, in my opinion, we will go around in circles and not get any further...
