I have already given you all of the Solved solutions that I found online in the Linux Mint forum to fix the issue. Sorry that those solutions didn't work.
Yes, I discussed the issue you are having with other members here in a pm and you didn't clarify if you tried those solutions.
(ie: install to a VM and then dd it to a real system or remove the drive and move to usb and install on another system)
Are you trying to triple boot Windows, Ubuntu and Linux Mint?
If not than you seem to be doing the same practice over again expecting to get a different result.
I want to start 5 when linux mint is installed
1.Kali linux
2.Ubuntu
3.windows7
4.windows10
and
5.i want linux mint
If they were able to do that and could resolve the issue you are having they are free to join this thread at any time.
I strongly suggest that you give Zorin, Elementary OS, Lubuntu or Q4OS a try since all that you have tried has continued to lead to "installer crashed"
I'm just getting this error when installing linux mint. "Installer Crashed" I can install all operating systems. Fedora, Linux mint, backtrack
These three operating systems are not installed on the computer.
You have a boot media, I'm assuming this live boots and if you do not choose to install, you can run Mint as a live boot and it works correctly?
I wrote linux mint usb disk iso file.
but
I click on the install icon when I get to the desktop
I click forward and then I get the error "Installer Crashed"

First off, thanks for your patience with my added questions and can see that you've done the correct due diligence to try and get this all correct.
What I'm seeing is that you do have a 64-bit machine, you have a valid version of the Mint OS for your system. You are running grub2, and you have verified that you have sufficient free hard disk space to install a distribution. Along with that you do have two other versions of Linux running.
Further, you are able to boot off of your media, get Mint running to the desktop, and then it does crash in the installer.
After this point the two or three things I'd do would be:
Make sure the ISO I burned is valid - you seemed to have done this, plus it also runs
Try a different version of Mint, such as Mint Debian Edition
Report a bug to Mint - I see that the error tells you to do so and that you have gone to their forums to read, but have you reported a possible bug to them?
Check hardware compatibility. The Mint site has information about hardware it has been checked on, not always helpful though.
See if you can install a different Linux distribution
I checked the hardware compatibility.
I posted an error in the Linux Mint Forum but could not they find a solution.
can you give me a link for Mint Debian Edition version.
I want to install linux mint distribution.
There is no problem with hardware compatibility.
because:
My computer has 4 operating systems installed.
1.Kali Linux
2.Ubuntu
3.Windows7
4.Windows10
If the developers of Mint cannot or will not address this problem, there is no solution or they do not have enough information to offer a solution and you can go no further with it, as Ztcoracat has opined a few times already.
Hi ilsen. After booting the .iso, before clicking on install (assuming you have internet connectivity) could you open a terminal (or Ctrl+Alt+F2) in this 'live' Mint and post the link from:
lsblk -f | nc termbin.com 9999 (5.39.93.71 in case dns isn't working)
The idea is: for 'us' to see info about disk space. (there may be better cmds/switches than just lsblk)
I see you filed a bug: great!
(IF you feel like digging, try googling: mint "Installer Crashed")
Interesting FYI: here's SAME as in your .png in post#1 from last year!
A wild-guess: it's possible that the installer has a bug where it breaks with all those partitions.
Theoretically, one could setup a VBox .vdi with exact same partitions! And debug the .py script(s) Paging @justmy2cents
