Hello,
On step 16 for installation occurred this error…
LOG
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[05-Jul-2004 15:39:00] Mon 05/07/2004 15:39:00 [php notice] (/core/lib/xml_array/xml_array.inc:326) - Undefined property: parser
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How make to resolve this problem ?
What version of PEAR::XML_Parser are you using?
We have had problems running version 1.2.0 - we recommend downgrading to 1.0.1 for Matrix to stop this warning.
You can also ignore the notice if you feel like it as Matrix seems to run fine with it. We will try and take a look at this for RC2.
There is a bg in the bug tracker about this: It is bug #80
This problem is being caused by memory management changes made within version 1.1.0 of the XML_Parser PEAR package. It does not cause any problems with the system creation itself (… just a lot of blue errors 
), so the error is safe to ignore for Release Candidate 1. There will be a fix available in RC2.
Also, be aware that it should only appear when installing or updating your installation - you should not see this error within the normal course of using Matrix, except perhaps when using the automated patching system.
A further background is available at the bug-track link Greg posted above.

Can you do a "pear list" to get the versions of your PEAR packages and list them here.
Installed packages:
===================
Package Version State
Archive_Tar 1.1 stable
Console_Getopt 1.2 stable
DB 1.6.2 stable
HTTP 1.2.2 stable
Mail 1.1.3 stable
Mail_Mime 1.2.1 stable
Net_SMTP 1.2.3 stable
Net_Socket 1.0.1 stable
PEAR 1.3.1 stable
Tree 0.2.4 beta
XML_HTMLSax 2.1.2 stable
XML_Parser 1.0.1 stable
XML_RPC 1.1.0 stable
Your pear versions look fine. The error that you are getting is to do with the install order of Matrix. It is trying to install the Stalks design area before the parent type is installed. I have never seem this before 
If it was me, I’d try deleting the whole thing and starting again to see if it persists, but I guess you’ve tried this already through the other problems you have had.
You might also want to try using the CLI install and taking a look at the install order that is shown when running step_03.php. There are instructions for using the CLI installler here.
