Magento installation – PHP Extension “pdo_mysql” must be loaded
Posted by admin under magento installation[5] Comments
I had a problem installing Magento on my local machine (Vista Business Edition). The message from the magento installer was “PHP Extension “pdo_mysql” must be loaded”
I went to php.ini and enabled that extension without luck.
It turned out that you must have also “php_pdo.dll” enabled in order for the installer to proceed.

error:
PHP Extension “pdo_mysql” must be loaded
You could try to run on mysqli only:
in
app/code/core/Mage/Install/etc/install.xml
remove
in:
app/etc/config.xml
replace
pdo_mysql
with
mysqli
