Comment:

 > attachment 9474.2.diff added
  * Working patch
  * Mimmicks the wp-settings.php checks, With the correct filepaths and
 wp_die() to suit the rest of the file.

 Priority/Severity: This is an annoying bug for new users, Many will not
 realise why they're greeted with a blank screen, Or, Why the installer let
 them install without having the required version of PHP.

 It also affects most standard PHP windows installs, as they dont have a
 builtin mysql extention either.
