Database Error Upon Fresh Install (5.0-beta1)

My environment: Windows XP Pro, Apache 2.2.3, MySQL 5.0.27, PHP 5.2.0 (installed via Windows Installer).

PHP error_reporting setting "error_reporting = E_ALL"

Upon successful installation of Drupal 5.0-beta1, I get this error:

user warning: Table 'drupal.blocks' doesn't exist query: SELECT DISTINCT b.* FROM blocks b LEFT JOIN blocks_roles r ON b.module = r.module AND b.delta = r.delta WHERE b.theme = 'garland' AND b.status = 1 AND (r.rid IN (1) OR r.rid IS NULL) ORDER BY b.region, b.weight, b.module in C:\_www\local-drupal\includes\database.mysql.inc on line 167.

I checked my database and there is no 'blocks' table. Why should this return a warning? Either the code should know that the block table has not yet been created, or the blocks table should be created so the query does not return an error.

Also (probably unrelated), but after trying to create the first account, I get Access Denied page, however a record in the USER table is added with my information. The password reset for does work and send me a time sensitive link to change password.

This bug makes logging into Drupal impossible (so it seems).
