[Tex/LaTex] Perl.exe has stopped working

installing

When I tried to install Texlive2013 by running install-tl.bat, the message 'Perl.exe has stopped working' showed up. It failed too even I tried install-tl-advanced.bat while running it as an administrator. I also tried various ways including running it from command prompt with command like: -no gui something like that, which I found on the web but still it failed misearbly. Anyone has any idea? I run the installer from the iso I downloaded from CTAN server. I thought about installing it directly online but I scared it will fail too. I have my computer installed with strawberry Perl.

I had the same problem every time I ran the install-tl and selected 'simple install (big)'. Running install-tl and selecting 'custom install' seems to have solved the problem for me. Here's window's crash info if it helps anyone.
