The 5.0 Installer (to be picky, Installer 1.1) *requires* System Software 5.0.
It sounds to me like the disk you're booting from doesn't have 5.0 properly
installed on it.  Try getting a new copy of the System Disk from your dealer
(or redownloading it, or whatever).  Boot that disk then try to run the
Installer.
