OK, well, I just tried the new BETA. It does have a graphical installer.
You might want to try the text version and see if there is any problem
with that.

I don't know why there is a graphical installer. My opinion is that If
it's not taking up too much developers time, then great, but it's really
not necessary. Hopefully no one is spending much time on it.
