Error on Install index.php page.

[Kitty]

This is the first time I installed with Rusnak PHP scripts. I got the zip file 11-14-2010, I am hosting it currently at a computer with IIS 7 with Windows 7.
The error upon visiting the site is a 500, but with the detailed error it is this:
PHP Notice: Undefined index: step in [site\adoptables]\install\index.php on line 5

I followed the instructions on Rusnak's main site (I chmodded and installed the sql tables), but when I tried to open the install\index.php it is trying to find the $step variable. I tried searching for the $step in all the other pages and deleted the .htacess, but no luck.

What am I doing wrong?

umm did you create an empty database file on your server prior to installation? If so, you may not have uploaded all files correctly or there may be something wrong with your config.php file.

Yes I have. The error is that it's trying to obtain a variable on the installation page called $step, but there's no page that I accessed beforehand that would allow me to get a variable for $step. Is the config.php suppose to be empty after getting the file straight from the zip? I unzipped and placed them on my sites twice.

My page is unable to start the installation because of this $step error on line 5.

If you create an empty database file on your server, when starting installation. I think you are not uploaded all files or this all are not installed correctly or corrupted. You must have to reinstall it again because your config.php file is not working.

It's a notice error! There is nothing to be afraid of, just change the error reporting to E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE and it will be gone forever
You can just go on with the installation process normally
