  • Disconnect from the internet.
  • Open Terminal (Utilities -> Terminal)
  • Run: date -u 0818025919
  • Command-Q to quit Terminal
  • Run the Installer again

The problem is the certificates in the installer expired some time ago, so the OS can no longer be installed. If you're messing with even older versions, you can try using an older date such as 0818025910
