This might be the same issue as https://taleoftwowastelands.com/content/installer-crashes-0 though the symptoms are somewhat different and I have a different workaround.
Attempting to run Tale.Of.Two.Wastelands.Installer.exe on my system causes the window to appear for a split second, and then exit with no error message, though it does produce an error in the log file:
An uncaught exception occurred: System.InvalidOperationException: Visual Styles-related operation resulted in an error because no visual style is currently active.
I'm using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
Starting the installer in compatibility mode seems to be working so far (it's chewing on Fallout3.esm as I write this) without using a "visual style".

Symptoms: Installer crashes instantly and silently on startup
What I've tried:
After trying to run it from a command prompt to see if it produced a console error message (it didn't), I then ran it in compatibility mode, which seems to be working.
