Error while installing Magento

Question

I have downloaded the Magento community edition and the sample data. I am using XAMPP and while when I try to install Magento, all the five steps are fine as you can see below

When I click on the install button, the installation process stops with following error message

Module 'Magento_Widget':

Please somebody help me resolve this issue

Answer 1

The problem is ,the database was not clean.so while installing make sure the database is empty and now the installation will be successful.
