Ok, so I checked in the forums before starting this thread. I found similar issues but nothing that seemed to correctly relate to the issue I am having.
I am using Xampp 1.8 and trying to install Joomla 1.5.26.
When I access the Joomla Web Installer I see an enormous list of "Strict Standard" errors. Again, I saw mention of this in other posts and read about the fix by changing the value in the php.ini file.
(I will paste a number of the errors here)
Strict Standards: Non-static method JFactory::_createDocument() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context in C:\XAMPP\htdocs\dsquared\libraries\joomla\factory.php on line 140
Strict Standards: Non-static method JLoader::import() should not be called statically in C:\XAMPP\htdocs\dsquared\libraries\loader.php on line 186

I may be able to fix these issues by changing the value in the php.ini file but the error that comes when I try to move past the "language selection" page is a mystery to me.
The error is as follows...
An error has occurred.:
Cookies do not appear to be enabled on your browser client. You will not be able to install the application with this feature disabled. Alternatively, there could also be a problem with the server's session.save_path. If this is the case, please consult your hosting provider if you don't know how to check or fix this yourself.
Yes... Cookies are, of course, enabled in my browser. I am, however, unfamiliar with the server's "session.save_path".
That said, I wanted to post in the forums to get you guys' take on these issues. I've worked with Joomla a great deal in the past (along with Xampp) but never had issues on the first page of the web installer.
Any help would be much appreciated.
