You can always cancel the install and start it again

The OP may not have got the screen at #18 if he had already wiped Windows.
If that is so, the screenshot he has shown has, at the bottom,
device for bootloader installation /dev/sda, and Install is enabled.
He could click install and see what happens.

Install now results in a "no root file system is defined". "+" and "change..." results in the installer crashing. "-" results in me able to continue.

no progress has been made so far.
Restart the Installer from the beginning, and at the Installation Type window, choose the top option
"Erase disk and install Linux Mint"
Or have you already tried that option?
