Common problem, Setup wizard fails and shows message
"There were errors".

This is a timeout error because setting bigger timeouts or using bench console solves the problem.

I believe as the project grows, Setup Wizard will be the entry point for Users to make ERPNext relevant.

Setup Wizard should not be "build huge list of args" > "http.POST on server" > "wait for response". Because as the arg list grows, server will take time to process.

Setup Wizard needs a re-design to handle:

• Initialization Wizard, user creation, timezone, country etc. (Mandatory)
• Localization Wizard, country selection, gst etc. (Mandatory)
• Domainification Wizard, Service, Education, Healthcare etc (Optional)
• Additional Wizards (Optional)

If args list is broken down in small chunks server can process and responds quickly?

Can Wizard be resume-able again? I vaguely remember v3/4 had a progress on setup.
These optional wizards can be there on setup/progress bar for later or disabled completely
