Installation on Windows 7 / Apache 2.x / PHP 7/MYSQL5.6 hangs after Database Configuration

Hi Experts,
I am installing SuiteCRM 7.1 on

  • Windows 7
  • Apache 2.4
  • PHP 7.0.4
  • MySQL 5.6

I am following step by step instructions from https://suitecrm.com/wiki/index.php/Installation#Performing_a_typical_installation_of_SuiteCRM

This is a local installation and I am not going to send emails. I am going to evaluate whether this is good enough for client’s requirements. Based on my findings, I will recommend it to them.

I have tested APACHE, PHP and MYSQL connectivity and all of them work fine.

The installation goes from System Requirements to Database Confiuration & Site Configuration and after filling out all the data there, when I click on NEXT, I see some 25+ messages like this

Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; SugarView has a deprecated constructor in C:\Users\Hornigold\MyWebSite\MyCRM\include\MVC\View\SugarView.php on line 44
?
And when I click NEXT here, nothing happens… What do I do.

I don´t know why you´re installing SuiteCRM 7.1 if there’s a much newer version, but 7.1 does not support PHP 7.0. You should go for a different PHP or SuitecRM 7.5.3+
