The full text of the error is:

This happens when I launch the installer; I've tried both the release version and the beta version and both give me the same error.

You probably have some corrupt fonts -- especially, the built-in fonts that come with Windows (esp. Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, etc.). You should try copying them from another computer running the same version of Windows.
