on line 176 of install.inc

  $default_settings = './sites/default/default.settings.php';

causes my installations to error out silently during datebase configuration.

If I instead use

  $default_settings = './sites/default/settings.php';

I can get past this.

It does not work for me...
I got this 404 error message, after the window for choosing the language. When i click on the english version, the next window is 404 can't find the install.php.

Do you have any other advice?

I have actually figured it out. The instructions say to copy the config file. you MUST >>>COPY<<< the config file, because if you do what comes natural to a busy/lazy admin and just >>>RENAME<< the config file you create an error condition.

Yup, currently you need to copy the file - renaming it breaks things :( See #312144: Install fails when default.settings.php is not present for the main issue discussing this.
