I am a beginner at Drupal. I tried to install Drupal latest stable 6.19 on Windows Vista platform following instructions but installation stuck on username password and would not allow continuation.

I installed the older version 5.23 with no problem but get a deprecated erg() message.
and now on the view and edit warning:
* warning: Parameter 3 to block_user() expected to be a reference, value given in C:\wamp\www\drupal\includes\module.inc on line 386.
ditto many others
* warning: Parameter 2 to watchdog_user() expected to be a reference, value given in C:\wamp\www\drupal\includes\module.inc on line 386.
and various other errors
warning: Parameter 1 to theme_status_report() expected to be a reference, value given in C:\wamp\www\drupal\includes\theme.inc on line 171.
=====================================
* warning: Parameter 1 to theme_status_report() expected to be a reference, value given in C:\wamp\www\drupal\includes\theme.inc on line 171.

* warning: Parameter 2 to watchdog_user() expected to be a reference, value given in C:\wamp\www\drupal\includes\module.inc on line 386.
It tells me I have errors and to look at status report but that hangs
System seems to be partially working anything I should be doing extra

I have another CMS installed that requires an updated PHP.

I haven't encountered this and haven't been able to recreate it easily. It looks like you're using the WampServer and you might make sure you have the most recent release which has very recent copies of PHP and MySQL. I did a quick search and it sounds like other users have gotten similar errors with WampServer 2.0i and Drupal, so that might be part of the problem.

If that still doesn't work you might try using a different server environment. I would recommend UniformServer(http://www.uniformserver.com/) which is a WAMP server that doesn't require installation. You can download it and try it without installing it and run it out of any directory you choose(just make sure to turn on your WampServer installation off before you try using it because that could also cause some problems.)

Have you gotten through the Drupal installation process or do you get this error right 'out of the box'?

I am trying to use both Drupal and Joomla 1.5.2 in order to learn both systems. This is in a Windows Vista environment. I need to run both systems from localhost.
As it was running PHP 5 it needed a fix to prevent an error message I am having no problems with latest Joomla and Wampserver 2.0 with Apache 2.2.21 Has anyone got both sysytems working. Drupal seems to be working apart from the error messages above but I could not get latest Drupal 6.19 to install, it hung up on password username.
