You installed it in the recommended directory and did not move it or anything??  The installer is finicky about changing the install location but if you leave the defaults it should work.   Did you try removing it, downloading the latest installer, and trying again?

The installer is not "finicky", it works properly if your MSFS 2024 install is correct and, most importantly, if you moved the Community folder in the wrong way, see this post:

https://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,32570.msg205594.html#msg205594

which explains how you are supposed to use it correctly, and how the admittedly confusing MSFS 2024 UI mislead you thinking you are "moving the Community folder", when in fact you are moving the whole "Content" or what it was USED to be called "Content" in MSFS 2020, now it's called "Storage".

Most likely cause is antivirus interference. Be sure you add the whole "Addon Manager" folder (where you installed the FSDT Universal Installer) to the Antivirus EXCLUSION and try again.
