@
Ultroman: Thanks for the hint (spaces). But i did not use
any spaces.
If you read more closely, the errors you've linked to look nothing like your error. The others do not describe a problem with the path, which is what yours is complaining about.
I did read the postings i mentioned
My english is good enough to understand what they have written.
Though not being able to change the install path could cause some issues with 7th Heaven...
In the past whenever I've installed to the windows program folders it has caused it not to work, probably because of the protection on them so I always installed it to games/FF7 but I will test later and let you know 
Could this be because I'm trying to install to a non default location for modding with 7th heaven? It says don't use program files or program files x86 or users but I get this error trying my own choices.
And as it seems, you have the same problem with or without using spaces.
Btw, if i
don't change the default Destination Folder the installer runs like a charm.
In the meanwhile i created some virtual machines (VMware) for testing purposes.
I hope i am more precisely now and it helps to recover the error.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
