    I’m very interested in installing EE, after reading the good reviews for it, on various CMS sites.

    I’m only getting a white screen on installation.  ( using current version, 2.7.2 )
    I get the same white screen whether installing EE, EE-Core, or just using the Wizard. 

    No tables are installed, and
    system\expressionengine\config\config.php remains 0 bytes

    Of course when I pull up the URL (index.php), I get the following message:
    Your config file does not appear to be formatted correctly.

    I don’t use WAMP; I installed the components separately.
    I’ve set up a VirtualHost in my Apache and served content from it, as a test.  made entry in hosts, etc.
    I even changed the directory settings to include   AcceptPathInfo On - if that was not On by default. 

    My database:  name, user, password has been setup

    I don’t think permissions are the problem; 
    I reviewed and Authenticated Users on Win7 have read/write/execute privileges.
    Although I’m using an administrator account (the only user on this windows machine) it is not full admin;
    Windows is a little funny, and I have to occasionally ‘Run As Administrator’ If I need to do something special.

    Here’s the environment:
    Windows 7 Home Professional
    PHP Version 5.4.7
    Apache/2.2.21 (Win32) PHP/5.4.7
    5.5.14 MySQL Community Server


    I’m going to admin.php to install - and this should call the installer. 
    After reading through some of the code and CI stuff, I’m curious where it’s getting hung up;
    What is going wrong ?
