As they say[1],[2],[3], do not use a live image for installs.

My experience with live images is that they include the installer and
a live image. The gui within the live system most usually runs into
errors, while the installer from the initial grub-like menu works just like the
netinstall system. I suspect the installer without booting the live
system has maximum resources available, while the live system
even as idle requires 15-20% of resources to run the installation
gui.
