I tried installing arch through the script in a VM and I got this error: "/mnt/archinstall is not a directory".

@rado84-github it seems you didn't selected/defined any target mountpoint to install into. The installation scripts mounts all the targets under the /mnt/archinstall but only creates it if there is something to do there. And from the log there isn't. See that in the json definition (at the top of the hardcopy) the entry mountpoint = null

I did. I created mount point / as it's always the default point in all distros and when it asked me where to save all changes (user, disks, etc.) I chose / again bc I didn't know what else to write there. But I'll check what you said about json.

This is most likely resolved with the latest changes
