I'll bet you have FP17 installed, right?  The INSTALL program that SAS
uses is outsourced.  It is not compatable with the FP17.  The last SI
told me was that the bug is being worked on.  I haven't heard of a
patch.  I was able to load mine from a machine (using peer) that did
not have the fp17 installed.  SI recommended just xcopying the files
from the CD and modifying the autoexec.sas file manually.
