ELGG installation error in local Win XP

I was trying to install a ELGG 1.8 in my local Windows XP with XAMPP. Unluckly I am getting the below error during installation.

I have checked all the tutorials and FAQs on this, and it looks fine for me. I do not see any issue with the mod_rewrite and other options of config. I even tested the rewrite using the tips available in ELGG docs.

Please help me, as I got struck when I started to learn plugin development.

  • We think your server is running the Apache web server.

    The rewrite test failed and the most likely cause is that AllowOverride is not set to All for Elgg's directory. This prevents Apache from processing the .htaccess file which contains the rewrite rules.

    A less likely cause is Apache is configured with an alias for your Elgg directory and you need to set the RewriteBase in your .htaccess. There are further instructions in the .htaccess file in your Elgg directory.
