I just installed Rocketlauncher for Fresco, and when I go to my site I get a page that says "Congratulations, Joomla is now installed" and
PLEASE REMEMBER TO COMPLETELY REMOVE THE INSTALLATION FOLDER.
You will not be able to proceed beyond this point until the installation directory has been removed. This is a security feature of Joomla!
Once I do this, all I get is a blank page, since I am being forced to delete the install folder before going through the setup process. It seems like I should only delete the install folder after setup, but I can't move past this point.
I have deleted the folder, and reinstalled it a few times, and it does the same thing. Any suggestions?

the installation is working and doing what it is supposed to, but....
You seems to have other issues - balank page is usually a server 500 error (look in browser console) and this is usually caused by...
1. not meeting specs
System Requirements:
Apache 2.x or Microsoft IIS 7
PHP support for the SQLite PDO driver
PHP support for the MySQL PDO driver
MySQL (5.0.4 or higher) with InnoDB support
PHP support for PDO
PHP support for GD2
PHP 5.3.x and above
Also, if you are running Joomla 3.0, the minimum specs for Joomla 3.0 are found here http://www.rockettheme.com/forum/index.php?f=675&t=180131&rb_v=viewtopic - you can safely ignore this link if you are running J2.5.
2. php memory_limit too low - should be 128M or higher
3. permissions wrong...
For permission issues check...
i) site > system information > directory permissions - are all GREEN (except config.php which should be red)
ii) check folders are 755, files 644 and that owner/group are correct using ftp client
iii) specifically check cache folder and css-compiled folder
iv) check that your are NOT using apachehandler for you hosting and that instead you are using fastCGI/cgi. If you are you need to correct this in cPanel or Plesk or ask your host to change this. Then you'll have to start again afresh.
v) Use the Joomla Forum Post Assistant to do detailed checks http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=621&t=582860
Look in apache error log for a more detailed error message and report back.

Thanks for the list of issues to look for. Thankfully, the solution was simple. After checking with my hosting provider and doing some research, I tried deleting the configuration folders from the server. For some reason this did the trick--they might have been causing problems from an old Joomla install.
So far no other problems!
