Hi,
Thanks for the nice comments, I'm glad you appreciate the effort that went into making the software as smooth to install as possible (although it isn't as easy as I'd like due to the need for the core mods unfortunately).
The place it told you is the correct place, it *always* is.. it's quite a smart wee installation checker. ;)
You probably just need to add a slash to the front of index.php or else you have a conflict with some other rule on the site
If changing RewriteRule .* index.php to RewriteRule .* /index.php doesn't work get in contact here with FTP and admin details and I'll take a quick look.
All the best..
Conor
