Install script of beta4 (complete tar) doesn't run install script (WSOD)

Issue Summary

I installed the complete beta4 that comes from http://www.phpedu.org.uk/.

When pointing the browser to the homepage I get a blank page (WSOD). Adding these lines to index.php:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', TRUE);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', TRUE);
I receive lots of warnings about non existing tables and variables:

Warning: Table 'phpedu.access' doesn't exist query: SELECT 1 FROM access WHERE type = 'host' AND LOWER('127.0.0.1') LIKE LOWER(mask) AND status = 0 LIMIT 0, 1 in /var/www/phpedu-beta4/includes/database.mysqli.inc on line 128

Warning: Table 'phpedu.url_alias' doesn't exist query: SELECT COUNT(pid) FROM url_alias in /var/www/phpedu-beta4/includes/database.mysqli.inc on line 128

Does the complete package not run the install script? How can I create the tables?
