My best guess of what the problem is:

The application is trying to install the bootloader while some buffers (linux buffers, or hardware buffers, I don't know and I don't care) are not finished writing data on the usb key.

After 10 failed attempts I finally succeeded by waiting for my usb key led to stop flashing before entering the password required for installing bootloader.

so until this bug is fixed I would not recommend to run this app as root.
