Question: I've installed craft on some terrible hoster (I know, under force). Because of that I had to install craft in the public folder, next to the index.php file. I've set the path to ./craft and activated the .htaccess file. Now it will show the installation page, but halfway stops
with the attached errors. 

The odd thing is that it searches for /garnish-0.1.min.map in the site root, while it's in the app/resources etc folder?

EDIT: Placing the file garnish-0.1.min.map in the root removes the first error, apparently it's really looking for the files in that place?

Answer: 
The log file got me on my way after a tip from Brad Bell:

> 
> 'CDbException' with message 'CDbCommand failed during the SQL statement: SQLSTATE[42S01]: Base table or view already exists: 1050 Table 'craft\_assetfiles' already exists' in ...craft/app/framework/db/CDbCommand.php:358

Removing the database and doing a fresh install solved the issue.
I'm throwing out a wild guess only, but what happens if you temporarily remove the .htaccess file in the top level of the "craft" folder. It's contents (i.e. "deny from all") may be causing some problem. Could that be causing some files not to be found?
