Im pulling my hair out as I cannot understand why i keep getting the following error when trying to install the sample data on any template during the install process.
Error: the XML response that was returned from the server is invalid.
here is a test site.

Found out that after leaving the sample data and install site without it i removed the install directory and tried to load empty site.
I then got a database connection error.
Very odd as it accepted the password and the username was correct.
So i checked the configuration.php file that was generated and found that the complex password i used that contained a " was causing all the problems.
Joomla does not like you using " in the passwords. when generating the config file it adds a / infront of it. stoping the install of sample data and allowing you to connect to the site after.
I hope this will help somebody else out there, as I have spent a few days trying to solve this problem.
