I downloaded the binaries for Windows and followed the instructions that 
came with Mediawiki - the README, the install docs and the online forums 
and both mediawiki.org and meta.wikimedia.org

Why? - use MySQL Administrator - get MySQL Query Browser while you're at 
it.  PHPMyAdmin is only useful if you don't have the database on your 
own machine.

I've done this several times on a couple of machines.  It pays to read 
the docs before attempting the installs and prepare in advance.

Maybe if you're having so many problems, you should hire someone to do 
it for you.
