EasyBlog installation problems

Having some issues with installing EasyBlog 5.
Sometimes it installs successfully, but other times when using the Launcher after an apparent successful installation I noticed the Latest Blog module truncation does not work. It shows the entire article on the home page no matter what settings we choose. Also noticed that one of the buttons in the module settings is missing. The "Show Content" button in Post Attributes is not there. Re-installation does not help.
Also having issues installing the full component manually. After uploading it the file it looks like it's installing it but then after a a minute or so just stops like nothing happened..no error messages or anything. The weird thing is that I have successfully installed it a few times before this way.
I have tried installing other extensions with no problems, only the EasyBlog component doesn't install. Not sure if this is related to the large file size but I have the my upload file size set high enough to handle it. I can use the launcher to install but then the latest blogs module doesn't work properly.
Any ideas to what might be going on.
