With Windows, you are probably better off installing manually, assisted by your mysql GUI - phpmyadmin usually but whatever you have.

 

1, Create a blank db in phpmyadmin

2, Select the db, then click on the SQL tag, top of the screen

3, Paste oscommerce.sql directly into the text area and hit Go (you'll need to open oscommerce.sql in a text editor first, to Copy)

4, Find your 2 configure files and make sure they are writable. You can do that by right clicking on them, select properties, uncheck Read Only or check the boxes for write permissions. They are located at catalog/includes/configure.php and catalog/admin/includes/configure.php

5, In a browser, type in www.your_domain.com/install/

6, Click on "Install a new online store"

7, Uncheck the "Install the database and add the sample data" checkbox. Click "Continue"

8, Make sure the info is correct and click "Continue"

9, You should have jumped to Step 5.

10, Fill in all the db information, leave "Persistent Connections" unchecked, select the "Session Storage" Database radio button. Click "Continue"

11, All things being good, you should have a store.

12, Go back to the configue files and make them Read Only.

The following has to be done. Then it worked for me ;)

 

1) In your php.ini file, you need to set 'register_globals = On' and right after that 'register_long_arrays = On'.

2) Restart your web service.

3) Open a browser and try the install again!
