I believe there is a small bug that some people like me run into. I created a cryptic username for the db and it contained a "&". My install would not progress because the user was not permitted (install routine comments). I tried the separate test.php and it worked. Once I removed the "&" from the name it installed perfectly. I suspect there is code that removes the "&" and therefore fails the installation tests.
My suggestion is to flag it at the initial Step3 results. Thanks so much for the software, it will definitely be welcome to our site.
