Raphael,
It appears that J/Link is not properly installed. Java cannot find the
com.wolfram.jlink.Install class, which means that JLink.jar is not on your classpath. Try
the following from a command line:
java com.wolfram.jlink.Install
If it works, you will see a Create Link: prompt. Dismiss it by hitting Return, and dismiss
the subsequent Listen On: prompt, and Java will quit. Presumably, it will fail for you
with a complaint that the com.wolfram.jlink.Install class cannot be found. Set the
classpath correctly and try the command line until you get it to work. Then go back to
Mathematica and try InstallJava[].
