[SOLVED] Installer Not working

[beatonnz]

Installer not working in Linux Mint 17. Downloaded latest version. Executed as root. Detects my SD card. Doesn't detect latest version and leaves the field blank so the install button stays greyed out as well.

Have given up on Raspbmc do to update problems and stuttering problems with current release so thought I would try Xbian but can not get off of first base with the installer. Should I just download and install the image or is there some simple fix?

Thanks for your help.

Edit: Downloaded image and installed directly with Linux USB image writer and seems to be away now.
