I am now trying in my Windows 7 64 Bit install on my laptop and I get a blank page when I click "Proceed to the next step"

I am usng XAMPP 1.7.3 on Windows 7 Professional. I get the XAMPP pages and /forum shows the install screen but when I try to install I get a blank screen...

Did you switch the mysql and php on in the xampp control panel the shortcut should be in the start menu

Installation for xampp here: http://junaid-k.com/showthread.php?tid=28

It doesn't look like it's compatible with Windows 7. That might not be the case, though.

Yes they were on.

Weird, phpBB 3.07 works but not 3.04. 3.04 works on my Yahoo hosting (Unix I'm pretty sure) and on Ubuntu...

That's odd. I'm using SMF 2.0RC3 on Windows 7 64bit using Lighttpd, MySQL, PHP and the forums work fine. phpBB works okay too.

Are you sure your paths are correct? Remember Windows paths are like C:\WINDOWS not C:/WINDOWS/ or /WINDOWS/blah.

I use Linux on my website server, though. I don't trust Windows on servers... :/

You have 3.04 working?

I am using Windows on my Laptop because I need it for something and I don't wanna restart into Ubuntu just to get phpBB...
