I have the same problem. I have set the permissions in phpMyAdmin security and in MySQLAdmin, I have set Full control permission on the containing folders. I run xampp_control.exe as administrator. I have manually set permissions in config.inc.php. Yet I still get this:

C:\xamp\katuraCE_v3.0.0> C:\xampp\php\php.exe install.php

why not just do your testing from a virtualized linux box on your windows machine using one of the several (free) ways to do so? seems like a much easier and more productive way to test imho.
