MediaWiki 1.3.5 installation on Windows XP

Can anybody please help us or at least direct us in the installation process of mediawiki.

Firstly we get a blank page upon attempting to configure the wiki using index.php. We therefore tried to manually configure the LocalSettings,php and AdminSettings.php files, but we received the following report:

Warning: main(/mediawiki/PHPTAL-NP-0.7.0/libs/PHPTAL.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in c:\easyphp\www\mediawiki\includes\SkinPHPTal.php on line 32

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '/mediawiki/PHPTAL-NP-0.7.0/libs/PHPTAL.php' (include_path='.;C:\EasyPHP\php\pear\') in c:\easyphp\www\mediawiki\includes\SkinPHPTal.php on line 32

Can anyone help?

Can you configure PHP to record an error log? There may be a fatal
error which is suppressed by output buffering oddities.

Sounds like you did not set $IP to the correct path. It should be:
$IP = "C:\\easyphp\\www\\mediawiki";
*not*
$IP = "/mediawiki";
