Installer crashes if error occurs on startup

[ccrowles]

Hi, I'm very sorry to bother, but the installer won't launch. It gets stuck at this screen, and then closes itself. The log says:

Can anyone help?

Ok found the issue, Comodo Firewall was blocking the installation.

I'm reopening this because the installer should show a nicer error message if this happens - it shouldn't just crash immediately. This is something we'll have to fix on our end.

In the mean time, I updated the wiki page about the installer about how to fix this error/how this error can happen (https://github.com/07th-mod/wiki/commit/5fa947b33d96a076142ed917cd5801f70491893e).

I think the install loading screen (loading_screen.html) now displays any errors that occur on startup, so this issue can be closed.
