      Did you up the memory_limit before running install?

        I’m getting a similar issue. However, I’m getting a different error. It’s whining about a missing core.transport.zip file in the /core/packages/. Keep in mind that I pulled the release I’m using straight from the SVN so there is no core.transport.zip file included. I also noticed that I’m unable to check the "Core Package has been manually unpacked" box during install. So...err...what’s up?

          Yep, you have to build it if your using SVN, instructions are here http://svn.modxcms.com/docs/display/revolution/Development+and+Testing+Notes, relevant bit :-
          If this is the first time you are building from SVN, copy the file build.config.sample.php to build.config.php and edit the properties to point at a valid database with proper credentials. NOTE that this database does not have to contain anything; the build script just needs to be able to make a connection to a MySQL database.
          From the command line, change your working directory to _build/ and execute the command "php transport.core.php". This process will take an extended period of time (100 to 250 seconds likely), so be patient. (Note: on Mac Mini (1.66Ghz Intel Core Duo with 2GB RAM) running the Leopard development environment as outlined below, this only takes 5-10 seconds.)

          Note that you can also do this from the browser by browsing to the _build/transport.core.php directory, if that directory is accessible in your web server setup.
            Use MODx, or the cat gets it!

              The memory limit? On the database do you mean? No I haven’t changed any memory limits or settings.

                No, the memory_limit in your PHP configuration, as stated at http://svn.modxcms.com/docs/display/revolution/Development+and+Testing+Notes:
                NOTE: The actual install process requires more than the default 8M of memory allocated to PHP in many default php.ini files; if you get a blank page when you click "install", try increasing the memory_limit configuration to 32M or more (16M may work, but why not give php a little space, eh?).

                  I increased the memory limit to 32M and retried. Unfortunately I still have the same problem.

                  Once I click install I get a blank screen.

                    I did the same mistake. Just read between the lines carefully.
