I get a blank page when i try to go to the install.php

I am running Windows 10, no Skype. I appear to have done everything right; however, when I click on the URL to take me to the wordpress site "http://wpdemo1.dev/wp-admin/install.php" part it takes me to a blank web page - no error message, just a blank screen. Can anyone offer any assistance?

In your wp_config.php file turn on WP_DEBUG('true');

That will show errors on the front-end.

It is located in the root folder of the Wordpress install. If you haven't set it up it might be called we-sample-confit.php

I am assuming the desktop server part is the wordpress install?? And I will find the file in the XAMP file? Or am I totally wrong?

Thanks

It will be in the folder that you downloaded from Wordpress.org.

In the folder that has the folders wp-content wp-includes wp-admin
