[Xerte] Installing Xerte Online Toolkits on a Windows IIS Server

I think I may have found one problem as I have now done a fresh
install and it is throwing a error setting up the database stuff.
It errors on the setting root_file_path saying that the mysql syntax
is incorrect so I think this might be causing my problems
Any ideas why it would only fall on this on entry as everything else
is goon in fine.
Their is no rush as I am off this week but keep remoting the server to
tweak
