Stuck installing WP using wpi

  • Hello,

    I am trying to install WP onto a Windows 7 64bit PC. I do not have any IIS/database experience so I am using the WPI.

    I have partly installed WP using the default settings as per the link below:
    https://www.ambercomputers.co.uk/WordpressPartInstallDefaultSetup.doc

    However I am stuck here:
    https://www.ambercomputers.co.uk/WordpressInstallStuckHere.doc

    Everything in the above page was there by default. I am using the password root, which I setup for the DB administrator root earlier.

    I assume that this is where I setup the password for the DB user, but anything I do from here results in the “The source is invalid” error message as shown and WP does not get installed.

    Paul

    Here is a bit of log info:
