The problem is indeed the newlines that are different between Windows and *nix, and that's causing a problem.

But in this case, you're not doing any binary file transfers, so you're stuck with windows newlines on a unix system. The fromdos or dos2unix utilities can be the solution for you, though. Please try those

I have no dos2unix or fromdos command, I am on a windows server, not a unix/linux one. However, I found a way to solve it.

In the adminfunctions_hacklog.php, this line
$handle = fopen($file, "r");
I changed it to:
$handle = fopen($file, "rb");

to force the file to be open as a binary file. Then the install routine started working That seems to be an issue for windows servers only.
