I encountered this same problem yesterday with the 2-22 build, but I thought it may have been a fluke.

Anyhow, I did a completely fresh installation of G2 using the '02-23-2005 03:34:25 AM' build from http://galleryupdates.jpmullan.com/ and it still produces a blank HTML file from main.php:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"><html><head><title></title></head><body></body></html>

No errors during the installation except for "Unable to install Thumbnail Manager." It walked me through the Core upgrade at the end of the installation.

Please help! Thanks.

if you see the upgrader right after the installer, the install didn't work.
if you PM me ssh and db access to your system i can debug the install problem.

if you don't want to do this then you need to search for 'versions.dat' in modules/core/CoreModuleExtras.inc and debug why this file isn't written correctly during the install-core-module step of the installer. (if it is written correctly, then debug why the upgrader gets invoked.. check main.php)
it's way too time consuming to debug problems going back and forth in the forums, so this is all the help i can give you.. good luck.
