Is AOCL_BOARD_PACKAGE defined as a user variable or system variable? Since aocl install needs to be run with admin privaleges if you have it only declared as a user variable then the admin user will not have that variable declared. If your Windows user account is already setup to be admin then this will not matter.

I just checked on my Windows machine and the accelerator is showing up as "Altera FPGA Accelerator 13.0" so that should be the correct device description.

I don't know if this is still needed anymore but one other thing I used to do when installing the driver is go into the device manager and uninstall the Accelerator and Jungo drivers before running aocl install. This makes sure the board driver is not already loaded up when the aocl install attempts to install the new driver.
