Sorry, cant help much with IIS. Any IIS experts out there???

How about the MySQl and PHP verions I'm using... do you think they would cause something like this?

[michael_s]

I think it is the combo of those versions w/IIS/windows.

I have heard others running running linux/apache with those php/mysql versions with no issues at all.

for blioux,
If you've any Internet related security software (firewall etc.), disable it and try the installation again.

I ran into this problem as well. For me, it was a problem with my php5 configuration.

The culprit was a php5 configuration option called "register_long_arrays" which was turned off in my php.ini file. I changed the line:

"register_long_arrays = off"

to:

"register_long_arrays = on"

I think that "off" may be the default option, but I may have set it that way when I installed php5 - I don't remember right now.

Either way, this fixed the issue for me. I hope that it helps you :o)

It's because of PHP 5. Try installing PHP 4.3.x and see if that solves your problem.

Yes, that would fix the problem as well. However if you want to use php5, altering the php.ini file as I have noted above fixes the issue.
