    Right well, I looked up the MySQL error, and found a load of unsatisfactory ideas for solutions; so I uninstalled it, and reinstalled it with XAMPP, and it works.

    However, XAMPP runs ridiculously slowly... I mean it's unusable... it wouldn't even let me open up this browser 'til I exitted it; then up they popped.

    It can't normal, I've accessed myPHPadmin via other things like EasyPHP and WAMP, there must be a reason for being so stodged up?!
    It's a crying shame, as that installation video was excellent. 😢

    What other options are there for getting this thing up and running? There must be a non-exasperating method of installation out there somewhere!!!

    Well, after several goes, I made it to the page where the tikiwiki_install.php is shown... I tried over and over again to click and install, and it just wouldn't make it to the page... until, all of a sudden everything sped up to "normal" speed, and I was able to click through the install process... and eventually got into MyPHPadmin to put a password on the root.

    So now, I *seem* to have a fully functional instance of tikiwiki (though I can't see the XAMPP icon on the toolbar tray near the clock as before), and I've downloaded the "formula" plugin zip from mods.tikiwiki.org ...but nowhere can I find any clear and precise instructions as to what to do with it and how to install it ...this appears to be the norm with Tikiwiki in my albeit incipient experience of it!

    So, please could someone advise on installing the "formula" mod for rendering latex?
    I've installed Imagemagick and Graphhviz, and have probably all the required latex/mimetex files stashed on my system (perhaps not in the right place, or lacking something, like CHMOD permissions; I dunno!)
    Any advice warmly welcomed! 😁
