Cannot join InnoDB cluster - new install

[NIck Alexander]

I am trying to set up 3 MySQL 8.17 installations on 2 separate VMs to for a HA cluster using MySQL Installer CE 1.4.31.

I can set up the first node successfully, but when I try to add the next 2 nodes, the installer seems to hang on the "Add Local Instance to MySQL InnoDB Cluster" step. The log reads

Flushing binary log and resetting master...
Binary log flushed and master reset successfully.
Adding local MySQL Server to production InnoDB cluster...
Using the following parameters:
Cluster Admin Username: ic
Host Name of Cluster Instance: 192.168.0.129
Port of Cluster Instance: 3306
Host Name of Local Instance: 192.168.0.130
Port of Local Instance: 3306
Add Local Instance to MySQL InnoDB Cluster
=========================================
Adding the instance '192.168.0.130:3306'
to the InnoDB cluster running on '192.168.0.129:3306'
Cluster seems to be inactive. Rebooting cluster.
Reconfiguring the default cluster from complete outage...

If I wait a long time (over 20 minutes) I will get a message saying that the process is taking along time, but that I should not cancel, but wait. It never returns.

This happens for both nodes that I try to add. I have tried uninstalling and clearing out any remaining folders and rebooting the VMs, but I get the same result the next time.

Any help would be appreciated.
