During the process of trying to install Joomla 1.5, I like many other people, continued to get the error:
error: the xml response that was returned from the server is invalid
Others were discussing the topic on the Joomla forum:
http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=429&t=265877
but nothing really helped me from there. After trying to run the SQL myself through PHPMyAdmin I gave up with that and went to try another install (this would be my 3rd or 4th). When I got the the part of the configuration for install, the only thing that I did differently was I changed the advanced setting on the Database Config page to the non-default radio button. Instead of backing up old Joomla tables I selected to Drop them or something - this was a fresh install so I figured it wouldn't matter.
Then voila, Sample Data Installed Successfully on the next page.
The other option that I was going to look into was something about PHP's ctype being enabled or not. Some people were getting a similar error for Drupal and enabling ctype was a solution I think. However, the process to do this involved recompiling PHP which I didn't want to mess with.
Hope part 1 helps you!

tried that and it didnt work for me....mind you i get a slightly different error message:
The xml response that was returned from the server can not be processed.
any other ideas?
Thanksd
Works for me! Dropping the table, especially for new installation is the answer! Thanks mate! :)
Check the next post I just made about deleting the configuration file! Hope that works!
Cool !! Thank you very much
What worked for me was to IGNORE the warning about a missing configuration.php file and let the system create it on Step 4 or whatever.
The installation went very smoothly once I did that.
Great everything works fine now
