Can't connect to install page

[coety54]

Hi
I'm new here. Just installed xampp 1.3.7.1. on my local system and it's working ok. Read the manual carefully up to page 46 but that's where I'm stuck. I type http://localhost/store to go to the install page and get the following lines

Warning: main(includes/application_top.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\server\xampp\htdocs\store\index.php on line 26

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'includes/application_top.php' (include_path='.;C:\server\xampp\php\pear\') in C:\server\xampp\htdocs\store\index.php on line 26

On line 26 there is the following -
require('includes/application_top.php');

From what I've read so far it's the two dist-configure.ini files. Can anyone help me please to set these up.

Thanks in advance

The "No such file" error message is very clear: You're missing the /htdocs/store/includes/application_top.php file.

Thank you!

Problem solved, not all the files in xampp/includes had downloaded so I added them and the install page appeared.
Thanks once again

Hi
have successfully constructed a site on xampp/localhost and loaded the files up to the server. The folders have a 777 file permission and the config files a 444. When the path is typed in
<mydomain/store/zc_install to start the process I get 404 error.
I have rechecked everything but no luck, does anyone have any suggestions please. Thanks in advance.
