I don't really know what installer you're talking about but I'm assuming it's the ESF installer. Try getting the 1.0 and upgrading with the 1.1 patch. If that doesn't work or that's what you tried, visa versa. What exactly is going wrong? Most people don't wait long enough during the "searching for installed components" phase. So try waiting like 10 minutes if that's the case.
