I'm getting the same with the same file, downloaded this morning.

Fatal error: Call to a member function getApplication() on a non-object in /home/brandche/public_html/tmp/install_4e5ad33ab6b2d/install/script.virtuemart.php on line 219

Open the downloaded file (com_virtuemart.1.9.8e.zip), open file install->script.virtuemart.php.
Change line 219 to
$app = JFactory::getApplication();

Save, update file in the archive and try to install again.
Worked for me, though I got a bunch of warnings after installation and had to do shop Configuration all over again.
