Lost in an Install Loop

[yerg]

ok then we can ignore the zend issue ... fine by me anything to make life simpler

My major frustration is the inconsistency within the references within multiple files

here is just three within the coding

conf/conf.Settings.php
var $_httpRoot = "/letoDMS-3.0.0/";

conf/settings.xml
httpRoot = "/letodms/"

inc/inc.ClassSettings.php
var $_httpRoot = "/letoDMS/";

And then the help file says other things
The problem is once you start it never stops.
