On a windows webhosting account where passthru() fails because the hoster hasn't given permissions, installation fails because of warnings on passthru(). Using wfSupressWarnings makes the installation work.
Specific error was basically the same as this one: PHP Warning: passthru() [<a href='function.passthru'>function.passthru</a>]: Unable to fork [xxx] in E:\home\xxx\Web\tmp.php on line #
Gerrit change #44751
Change abandoned and re-focusing this but on just suppressing the warning during the installer.
I am resetting the assignee of this issue to default because there has been no progress in the last 12 months. Feel free to take it again when you are actually planning to fix this. Thanks!
