Everytime I try to start the installation of PGV I have the same error - Internal Server Error. I've tried the following based on the the responses to all installation questions here in the forum;
FTP all files using binary - trying to unzip the original file times out for me - the hosting company only allows 30 secs for ftp through their website upload. I've done this 3 times now using ascii, binary and auto detect. the files seem to be ok i am using wise-ftp 6 for uploading and don't see any errors as i'm doing it.
Permissions - as it's a windows machine - I can't change the permissions myself - chmod does nothing. All help around this seems to be Linux based and therefore I'm struggling to see any problems with it. Will there be a problem with this for installation?
Checked PHP settings - have 128M available and it runs code - it takes me to the install.php file automatically. and runs other test scripts fine.
Windows based servers don't seem to be discussed much here in relation to PGV. Any information would help greatly or if anyone else has had problems with windows based servers please let me know.
Thanks for any and all help.

I have traced the problem down to PDO/MySQL not being installed.
The error log appeared in my Index folder finally. I am asking the ISP for more information on getting this installed.
A tip for anyone new to this software :- use Binary FTP for ALL the files and if you get an Internal Server Error when you run it - look for the log file in the index folder. It may help save you a few headaches in finding what the problem is.

Yes, you have to try "really hard" to change file permissions on Windows … you can make config.php read only after you're completed set-up, but other than that you don't have much to do.
I run a copy of PGV here on XP using Apache, MySQL and php on Windows which works fine. I don't go anywhere near IIS.
As for uploading the files, can you not use SSH to the server and then download the .zip directly to the server machine from SourceForge? Also if you have to use ftp, why not use a proper ftp client rather than try to do it over a "webpage" interface? Anyway, it's far easier and more efficient to ftp the zip file and then expand it on the server than to expand it on your local machine, then upload zillions of little files. (Same goes for *nix servers).

If anyone has experience with SQL Server DBs and installing PGV with them, I'd still appreciate any help.
I don't have MySQL DBs with my hosting package, only SQL Server.

I end up having to play with MSDE … a resource limited version of MSSQL server … at work as WSUS and EPO use it. But it's a pain.
I have no experience of the "full" or rather "$$$" costing MSSQL server software.
