Same Issue
I've got the problem as well...
Running Windows Server 2003
IIS 6
PHP 5.2.5
pear installed
MySql 5.0.45
Tried IE6, IE7, Firefox 2.0.0.11
Installation Hangs... I never get the 'Installation Complete' screen.
When I check the database, I can see that it is starting the installation as far as creating the tables, but the config file is incomplete. When I try to test it the installation (index.php), I get an error:
Fatal Error: Contact site admin.Unable to load config info
Great, right?
Question: Is there a way to complete the installation manually?

Found this thread and realized it was happening to me too....

I've inserted a row of the default values into the 'ost_config' table and now it gives another message:
