I'd highly recommend trying MediaWiki 1.2.0rc3 instead. I've tested it briefly on Windows (WinXP, Apache 2.0.48, PHP 4.3.4, and a MySQL 4 on one of my Unix boxes), and it seems to work... :)

Guess I'll try that release candidate, then ^_- Or even cvs, why not...
Note however that both installers may get confused if you only have a partial database, such as if you imported just a 'cur' table into an otherwise blank database. The correct way to do this is to install MediaWiki into a blank database, *then* import the dumped tables (which will delete and overwrite the tables initially created by the installer).
This should, imo, be specified in the install document (or maybe it is already :)), since that's an important topic.
Yes, iirc these are both resolved in 1.2.0rc3.
I'll try it & report any bug i find ^_-
