Ok I figured out my problem, I used Adobe's DreamWeaver to upload the PrestaShop. DreamWeaver uploads synchronization files stored in synchronization directories named "_notes" this was confusing the installer which must scan for language directories present in the directory "/install/langs/" If the the synchronization directory was there it treated it as a language causing trouble. So if you have these synchronization directories delete them and then rerun the installer. This worked for me anyway.
