The installation just stops, no errors... I’ve copied some details below.
The database is made up front, empty.
Is there a SQL script to build the database?

Install results
Setup will now attempt to setup the database:
Creating connection to the database: OK!
Selecting database `balsw2`: OK!
Checking table prefix `modx_`: OK!
The two likeliest possibilities are:
1. You’re short of memory (check the value of memory_limit in phpInfo() ). See
http://bobsguides.com/modx-installation-faq.html
2. One or more MODx files were corrupted in transfer.
Problem solved. I did a new download, unzipped the files, changed my VERY OLD ftp-client with another one, and uploaded the files again - and VOILA: I had a new site up and running! Corrupt files during first upload...
Thanks
Inge
Glad you got it worked out.
