Updated with the fixes mentioned in this thread:
Came up with some basic instructions to install this on a Windows PC:
1) Download the zip and sql file from viewtopic.php?p=9556#p9556
2) Install XAMPP with MySQL and phpMyAdmin enabled.
3) Once installed, open the control panel and start Apache and MySQL.
4) Go to
http://localhost/phpmyadmin
5) Click the Import button in the top menu.
6) Select database-create-mysqldb.sql.zip.
7) Click Go.
8) Extract Standalone_Dashboard_MySQL.zip to c:\xampp\htdocs\, overwrite any files with the same name.
9) Go to c:\xampp\htdocs\btech\config\database.php and edit with any text editor.
10) Change the file contents to match the below configuration:
$db['default']['hostname'] = 'localhost';
$db['default']['port'] = '';
$db['default']['username'] = 'root';
$db['default']['password'] = '';
$db['default']['database'] = 'dashboard';
$db['default']['dbdriver'] = 'mysqli';
$db['default']['dbprefix'] = '';
$db['default']['pconnect'] = FALSE;
$db['default']['db_debug'] = TRUE;
$db['default']['cache_on'] = FALSE;
$db['default']['cachedir'] = '';
$db['default']['char_set'] = 'utf8';
$db['default']['dbcollat'] = 'utf8_general_ci';
$db['default']['swap_pre'] = '';
$db['default']['autoinit'] = TRUE;
$db['default']['stricton'] = FALSE;
11) Should be good to go, go to
http://localhost/ and configure the database
