I had the same error come up.   I was installing on a Dell Optiplex
desktop.

I clicked on OK and got a further message "Bootloader install failed" "Sorry, 
an error occurred and it was not possible to install the bootloader at the 
specified location." 
"How would you like to proceed?
() Choose a different device to install the bootloader on:
 [gives dropdown with choices of all the devices]
() Continue without a bootloader
() Cancel the installation.

I chose "Choose a...." and selected "/dev/sda" from the drop down, which
was the correct device for the drive I was installing onto.

Clicked OK and it just sat there did nothing. [repeated several times
with same result]

I tried other choices and was not able to get the installation to
proceed.
