I've experienced this problem although I'm not sure if my installer was
actually v 7.0, wherein it will perform an illegal operation every time i
sign in. My problem was only solved when it prompted that there are new
updates available, and i downloaded those updates. Have you tried using an
older or earlier version installer and then afterwhich just let the
application look for new updates? Hope this helps.
