Are you reffering to "params.ini is not writable!"?
If so, you can just ignore it as long as changes are being made

- yeah, I am pretty sure your server doesn't have suPHP installed. Then you need to chmod that to 777, and change it back to 755 again after you installed.

- yes.. 777 is a security risk but some hostings need folder permissions to be chmod to 777 for them to appear as writable.. what's your hosting? how about asking them to install suphp (if you use VPS or dedicated server)

Maybe you can talk to the webhost and ask them to check that all the ownership's of files and folders are ok.
I'm not talking about permissions
