Hey guys,
Martin - hmm, that won't be the problem, then. But it does sound like there's a problem with the config.php file: if it contains a syntax error it will stop the pages from loading - and it only gets included at that phase of the install procedure.
Could you check your XAMPP PHP error logs? That will almost certainly give a clue as to what's causing the error. This article states where the logs are found:

Bert - good to hear from you! I was in your neck of the woods a couple of months back!
So... at the very end of the error message, does it actually give the you "row too large" message? I wasn't sure from what you posted, or if it was just another error. But if *is* row size, weird though it may seem, you'll actually need to increase the storage size of some fields up to MEDIUMTEXT. Fields that use that storage type (or TEXT) aren't included in the calculation of field size.
