Since your using a usb to install try solution 'b' first.
Solution a if I'm not mistaken is for a CD.

a) Remove the script that causes the error, when installing from a Live setup ("Try Ubuntu"):
sudo rm /usr/lib/ubiquity/apt-setup/generators/40cdrom

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

b) Create the files as they are expected:

To resolve this, simply copy the contents of filesystem.squashfs on the iso into the usb stick. Luckily the parts it is reading from this appear to be just apt config files so the fact that you lose symbolic links or permissions on a FAT32 usb stick shouldn't matter.

Ok, than, looking at that link, the only other thing you can try is to.....

On your current Linux installation: (If you don't have one you could use a live cd off a different usb stick)
1. Create USB stick.
2. Type in a terminal:
sudo mkdir iso
sudo mkdir source
sudo mount -o loop pathtoiso/ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso iso
sudo mount -t squashfs -o loop iso/casper/filesystem.squashfs source
sudo cp -pLr source/* pathtomountedusbstick

With this line:
sudo mount -o loop pathtoiso/ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso iso

You would have to change it to linux mint and the rest of the mint's description for the .iso.

Do other distro's give you the same results?

***It could be that you have to install in uefi mode.***

Do other distro's give you the same error 'installer crashed'?

Did you use Rufus on Windows?

Are you installing while connected to WiFi?

If your pc uses UEFI just unplug your internet when you install, its a known glitch in mint 17/18 install

I wrote the iso file with linux live usb creator.
Only linux mint gave such an error.

If you are connected to the internet during your Mint installation make sure you disconnect this time.

I don't know what else you can try. I'm near the end of where I can help.

Maybe burn the mint .iso to a DVD and try installing that way.

Are you installing alongside Windows?

If so you have to shrink your Windows partition before installing Linux.

That's why the installer kept crashing because it didn't have free space to install Mint.
Mint will need at least 20 GB for a fresh install.


***What size is your hard drive?
