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.
I copied the contents of the filesystem.squashfs file to usb disk.
but
I still get the same error. "Installer Crashed"
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.***

But if I install it in uefi mode this time the other established operating systems will not open

Do other distro's give you the same error 'installer crashed'?
Other distributions: Kali Linux , Ubuntu , windows7 , windows 10
Did not make an error loading other distributions.
I installed all.
I did sha256 verification.
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.
If your pc uses UEFI just unplug your internet when you install, its a known glitch in mint 17/18 install
