Cannot install Joomla 2.51 if session.save_handler is set to sqlite and session.save_path is session.sdb. It seens Joomla do not recognize this option for sessions correctly:

Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (C:\Program Files (x86)\Zend\ZendServer\tmp\session.sdb)
...
open(C:\Program Files (x86)\Zend\ZendServer\tmp\session.sdb\sess_m8rsoc9q6ap2nsh9jkelrfdqb3, O_RDWR) fa
...

So far i had no issues with this PHP Settings.

I have set both now to standard values with ini_set (files,tmp-path), now everything works fine.
