At this point I think the installation process is ignoring all embedded php statements.  Took a while to figure out it was not anything I did, but rather the template script simply fails to execute the PHP statements and falls through all tests - I end up with a screen that has no civicrm version number, displays all possible result bars (red, orange and green bars with their corresponding messages) and is unable to access any database information - just displays the variables.  Example below in text and attached the bitmap.

Is this fixable ?  Drupal under WAMP works perfectly ! Also, the basic modules appear under Drupal, but no database tables created, and not all modules are complete - plus no civicrm.settings.php created. Is there a straight databse import I could execute into MySQL ?

Actually, seems like the forum, or a "professional", needs to fix the windows installation script since it's nothing I did incorrectly and it simply doesn't work. I may chat with a cohort who works with civiCRM, but I suspect he's running on Linux. I've noticed other posts that indicate windows has been a known "problem" area. So not just my problem. I'll post any progress I make. And feel free to pass on news you find.

I am SO GLAD to hear you have civiCRM working ok !!!  Did you have to do anything special with your installation files, or just run them directly as they were ?  I am not sure where to look for stray files or what might be wrong with my Apache config. What problems did you have to adjust ?  At least you have given me reason to keep trying ;-)

    Installing civiCRM under Drupal - Hooray I have a successfull civiCRM Install - only took three days.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

FIRST:

To install civiCRM under drupal - what the docs say about copying the install path to your browser address line
as described was not at all clear to me:

"http://<your_drupal_home>/www/all/modules/civicrm/install/index.php".  I thought it just meant the full path with "WAMP"
as my drupal home (my root directory).  Not correct.

So I dug around to figure out how to run a script under drupal and ended up (by looking up Apache stack issues)
and finally got to the installer page - BUT it thought my files were not in the correct place. STILL - WONDERFUL
progress and great joy ;-)

Here's the corrected statement: http://localhost/sites/all/Modules/civicrm/install/index.php

SECOND:

to avoid having the installer think you have your files in the wrong place (got this from the civiCRM forums):

comment out the check for multiple drupal sites since I have only one.

// comment out the multi site check so drupal does not have to be checked - avoids requiring "drupal/www" path

// if ( $installType == 'drupal' ) {
//    // do not check 'sites/all/modules' only since it could be a multi-site
//    // install. Rather check for existance of sites & modules in the url
//    if ( ! preg_match( "/" . preg_quote('sites' . CIVICRM_DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, CIVICRM_DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR) .
//                       "([a-zA-Z0-9_.]+)" .
//                       preg_quote(CIVICRM_DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'modules', CIVICRM_DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR) . "/",
//                       str_replace( "\\","/",$_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] ) ) ) {
//        $errorTitle = "Oops! Please Correct Your Install Location";
//        $errorMsg = "Please untar (uncompress) your downloaded copy of CiviCRM in the <strong>" .
//  implode(CIVICRM_DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, array('sites', 'all', 'modules')) . "</strong> directory below your Drupal root
// directory. Refer to the online " . $docLink . " for more information.<p>If you want to setup / install a
// <strong>Standalone CiviCRM</strong> version (i.e. not a Drupal or Joomla module), <a href=\"?mode=standalone\">click
//  here</a>.</p>";
//        errorDisplayPage( $errorTitle, $errorMsg );
//    }
// }
