[Typo3-windows] Install typo3.8.0

[Michael Wesley]

Hi Erik

Thanks for your input.

I'm getting kind of frustrated now, because I'm trying to set up a CMS 
solution, Typo3 or MD-Pro.  But I keep getting problems with them both.

I'm running my installations within a VMware 5 workstation with Windows 2003 
Enterprise and IIS 6, since I don't want to install anything om my live 
server before I get the hang of what to do.
Needless to say, that in the 3-4 weeks I've been trying to get this to 
work - IT HASN'T!!!  Worked, that is.

PHP and MySQL seems to be working fine.  I've used PHP 5.0.5 but now I'm 
trying 4.4.0 instead.
I've used MySQL 5.0.13 but now I'm trying 4.1.15 instead.
I'm starting there and will try to upgrade them when I get Typo3 ver 3.7.1 
to work.  (Used 3.8.0 before).

I'm doing this to try to eliminate unknown variables, but I still can't get 
it to work, despite the fact that I've installed all three components 
according to the manuals.

I've also opened all files and all directories to full access just to see if 
that's the problem.

Francly, I'm at a loss....  I don't know what to do right now...


Any suggestions??
