You can always try creating the USB installer manually (it's actually pretty easy): http://kmwoley.com/blog/?p=345

Here is an update. It didn't work. This is the process I used.

Formatted my 8GB USB stick.

Downloaded and run ‘Windows 7-USB-DVD-tool

At end of step 4 of 4: creating bootable USB device.

Red bar at 100%

Status: Files copied successfully. However, we were unable to run bootsect to make the USB device bootable. If you need assistance with bootsect, plese click the “Online Help” link above for more information.

I tried it again with the same result.

Any ideas?

Any chance the stick was already bootable? That was one of the causes when i googled that error. Have you tried booting from it?
