Then I unzipped the files and ran the appropriate .PY file as directed. It went to an MS-DOS shell and refered me to the fpdb-error-log ... which had this:

I have PostgreSQL installed ... should i just go ahead and install MySQL? I thought the installer did that OR I could use Postgre ... what gives?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Is MySQL listed under All Programs somewhere? It should be if it has been installed. You should be able to try running the programs listed there to see if the database is up and running. Maybe you need to start it up via Control Panel - Services?
I did the installer EXE file first.
I rebooted.

If you prefer to use PostgreSQL take a look at this thread: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=3241459&forum_id=819272
