PHP just could not connect to the MySQL database server. Turned out that localhost by default points to ::1 and not to 127.0.0.1 And MySQL does not listen on the IPv6 localhost IP. You can change this in the %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts file. I spent a long time finding the problem for my 500 error.

I'm constantly getting a 404.0 when trying to reach http://localhost/wp-admin/install.php. It is in my c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ , I double checked the security settings, found out that the install file didn't had the .php extension so I added it but I can't get this to work.
