Open the updater script and delete the first 3 lines that say LT22i. Then flash again

You have wiped system.
Do never wipe system. It is used to verify that you are trying to install it on the correct device.

Go to "CWM"->"install zip from sdcard"->"toggle signature verification".
Then try to install the edited ROM.

The first error is because system has been wiped, so it will only help, if the assert has been removed.
What you could do, is to try to temporarily install a ROM, that does not check for what device it is installed on.
When that is done, are you able to install the FXP ROM, as the other one will setup a new system partition.

You may not wipe/format system.
The installation does need system, so make sure that it is installed on the correct phone.
So never wipe/format system yourself.
If it is needed, will the install script do it by itself, when it is needed.

Ok, and there are no issue with older files Which maybe not cleared during Installation when going from gb to ics?
Thx

I had the same problem when I was flashing MIUI rom weekly update to my Galaxy S3.
When I had this error, I was using CWM Recovery then I flashed Philz Recovery.
I tried to flash ROM again, and It was OK.
I hope, it works for you, too.
