Confirmed, installation via /install/install.aspx?mode=install is missing /DesktopModules/Admin/Console and /DesktopModules/Admin/ModuleCreator (and bin is missing Dnn.Modules.Console.dll and Dnn.Modules.ModuleCreator.dll). InstallerLog20200123 (via install.aspx, missing modules).txt InstallerLog20200123 (via installwizard.aspx, modules working).txt

I don’t see any good reason. AFAICT, deep down, they end up invoking the same code, but the sequence is different (notably, the extensions are installed earlier by the wizard). The wizard seems better implemented IMO. I think we should get rid of the current implementation behind Install.aspx and invoke the wizard steps instead.
