Crossfire 2.0 Installer Shows No Text

( This topic contains more problems that are unsolved. ) I followed the guidelines for installing Crossfire 2.0 on Windows 8.1, but for some reason when I launch the Crossfire20setup.exe file, it will start up showing no text. This is what it looks like on my end. ( Solved alone. )

Are there any explanations to this? I have recieved no error messages for about 4 or 5 hours.
Edits: I've tried re-running the installer a few times, sometimes it crashed after showing the SWAT-Portal thing, about twice, it went to the same SWAT-Portal thing, and stopped running with no error message, crashed twice after showing Crossfire 2.0: The Last Stand, shown after the first one i mentioned. It crashed with no error message once again when i got to the installer itself. Once the text actually showed, it got stuck on Installing Mod: Crossfire, then crashed with no error message. ( Worked within a few retries. )

It's already set to that.
Edit: I've installed it finally. However, Vanilla FL Intro + New CF Intro only has a black screen for the entirety of the intro. ( Only for fullscreen. )
2nd Edit: Waiting a bit before clicking singleplayer resulted in allowing the update to start. The update seems to have make the intros work. Singleplayer started with no noteworthy errors. However, two things that annoyed me. Since I have Skype open all day, I decided to run Crossfire in Windowed Mode. Clicking out of the game caused the video to freeze and fall behind the audio when I clicked back in. ( Function Keys problem solved alone. )

SharpKeys doesn't run on Windows 8...

Now the only thing left to fix is the intros showing up as only a black screen in fullscreen mode.
