Quick update - I think most of the problem is resolved. After more checks (following Uwe comments): 1) I see that the installer file runs properly when I set "mode='wb'", and fails when "mode='w'" (so that solves why some of the time the installer didn't run) 2) I still get the error massage mentioned before (e.g: "Composite Document File V2 Document, corrupt: Can't read SAT, etc..."). I don't know what it means, or if it is important (since the installer now runs properly).
