This issue is a very common for those who try to install Joomla! locally using XAMPP and WAMP during Joomla! 3 installation process, it hangs forever at the “Creating database tables” step:

Take following steps to solve the problem:

  • Go to wamp\www\your-joomla\installation\sql\mysql (if you are using Wampp) or Xampp\htdocs\Your joomla folder\installation\sql\mysql (for Xampp)

  • Open Joomla.sql file find the term ENGINE=InnoDB and replace all with ENGINE=MyIsam
