Error on Step 3

Finally I managed to install a local webserver on my computer for development purposes, however installing WP I get the following error on Step 3:
Fatal error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in C:\apachefriends\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-admin\upgrade-functions.php on line 705
Btw, I’m using XAMPP 1.4.5 (PHP5) for Windows ( https://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html)
