I have been trying to install 2.7.7 on an IIS machine running php and mysql.
On the first step of the install progress I get the following problem:
Your WWW_ROOT does not correspond with the SERVER_ROOT path you have specified.
I figure the installer was dumb, and forced it to continue by unchecking the URL check.
MySQL extension reads "enabled".
When I click to the next step, the DBTYPE field only sais "Using" and when I view the page source, it sais the value is "".
MySQL seems to work, I can connect to the database, write to it, and whatnot.
What to do Sir? =)

The first check is fairly simple one it takes your SERVER_ROOT puts a file into it and then tries to access it via WWW_ROOT. If it fails you get an error akin to the one you were seeing.
Do you have mysql or mysqlI <-- extra I at the end extension?

The following extensions are loaded in php.ini
extension=php_mssql.dll
extension=php_mysql.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll
(Some guy installed the mysqli extension yesterday, was just mysql the other day, I tested the installer today again, still no show,)
PHP runs in ISAPI mode and not CGI mode, if that information can be of any use.
I can connect to the database without any problems using the following script:
<?php
/*
MySQL (Community) Server Installation on 32-bit Windows XP running Apache
On Windows, the recommended way to run MySQL is to install it as a Windows service, whereby MySQL starts and stops automatically when Windows starts and stops. A MySQL server installed as a service can also be controlled from the command line commands, or with the graphical Services utility like phpMyAdmin.
PHP ---> MySQL CONNECTORS (php_mysql.dll and php_mysqli.dll as extensions)
MySQL provides the mysql and mysqli extensions for the Windows operating system on http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/php/ for MySQL version 4.1.16 and higher, MySQL 5.0.18, and MySQL 5.1. As with enabling any PHP extension in php.ini (such as php_mysql.dll), the PHP directive extension_dir should be set to the directory where the PHP extensions are located.
MySQL is no longer enabled by default, so the php_mysql.dll DLL must be enabled inside of php.ini. Also, PHP needs access to the MySQL client library. A file named libmysql.dll is included in the Windows PHP distribution and in order for PHP to talk to MySQL this file needs to be available to the Windows systems PATH.
Following PHP Script is useful to test PHP connection with MySQL.
*/
//$connect = mysql_connect("Your Host Name", "MySQL root directory", 'MySQL password, if any');
//$connect = mysql_connect("Host Name or Address - 127.0.0.1", "root", 'password');
$connect = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", 'password');
if ($connect){
echo "Congratulations!\n<br>";
echo "Successfully connected to MySQL database server.\n<br>";
}else{
$error = mysql_error();
echo "Could not connect to the database. Error = $error.\n<br>";
exit();
}
// Closing connection
$close = mysql_close($connect);
if ($close){
echo "\n<br>";
echo "Now closing the connection...\n<br>";
echo "MySQL connection closed successfully as well.\n<br>";
}else{
echo "There's a problem in closing MySQL connection.\n<br>";
}
exit();
?>

What does extension_loaded('mysql') return on your setup?

It is a bug in the installer. If you have only one database type available, it might not correctly be selected. Around line 1070 of install.php as distributed in FUDforum_2-7-7.tar.gz, you can add one line to sort this out.
The reason is the use of current() to choose the database type. The internal pointer into the array might not point to anything useful once elements of the array have been removed. Resetting the internal pointer to the first element of the array ensures that if anything is left in the array, the pointer will point to something valid.
foreach ($types as $k => $v) {
if (!$module_status[$k]) {
unset($types[$k]);
}
}
reset($types); // <<<---- Add this line
if (count($types) > 1) {
draw_row_sel('Database Type','DBTYPE', implode("\n", $types), implode("\n", array_keys($types)), '', (isset($_POST['DBTYPE']) ? $_POST['DBTYPE'] : 'mysql'));
} else {
echo '<tr bgcolor="#bff8ff"><td valign="top"><b>Database Type</b></td><td><input type="hidden" name="DBTYPE" value="'.key($types).'">Using '.current($types).'</td></tr>';
}
