Installation Error at Step 3

My Platform:
Windows XP SP2
Apache 2
Mysql 4.1
Php 4

This error message appears : "Fatal error: You must have the mysqli extension installed. in C:\www\cmsmadesimple\lib\adodb\drivers\adodb-mysqli.inc.php on line 52".

What can i do to pass through this step successfully ?

Thanks all !

Etienne.

Your version of PHP and MySQL don't like either other. You can try setting MySQL 4.0 in the CMSMS installer which sometimes works. The main problem is that PHP uses different commands to connect to MySQL 4.1 and above, and a lot of times these aren't compiled into the version of PHP that you've installed. If the 4.0 driver doesn't work, your best bet is to either find a version of PHP that supports MySQLi, or downgrade your MySQL to a 4.0 series.

Try selecting MySQL 4.0 instead of 4.1 in the CMSMS installer.
