SMF Version: Version not known
I am getting an error regarding the session.save path during setup. I have checked my PHP.INI file, and the path is set, in fact, when I try to access the install.php page, I notice a session file gets created in the directory I have set, yet it still gives me the error. Any suggestions? I am running Windows 2003 Server, Web Edition, not sure what version of PHP I am using....
Thanks in advance for any help!

My PHP version is 4.3.2.
Any help PLEASE???

Are you using PHP 4.3.2 or 4.4.2 (which is the latest 4.x version)?

From the PHP manual (http://www.php.net/ref.session#ini.session.save-path):

LainaaNote:  Prior to PHP 4.3.6, Windows users had to change this variable in order to use PHP's session functions. A valid path must be specified, e.g.: c:/temp.

If you are using 4.3.2, I recommend upgrading to 4.4.2 ASAP as 4.3.2 is really old. If you are using 4.4.2, then make sure the session.save_path is valid and that this directory is writable (the "IUSR_{machinename}" user needs to have Read, Write and Modify access on that directory - {machinename} = the name of your computer).
