Go to your browser and usw http://127.0.0.1/magento/ instead of http://localhost/magento/ and start the installation process again, it will work.

make sure cookie is not disabled in your browswer and check your log file
Make sure you have enabled all of the following ,curl is disabled by default in xampp and try again Required extensions: PDO_MySQL simplexml mcrypt hash GD DOM icony curl SOAP (if Webservices API is to be used) Safe_mode off Memory_limit no less than 256Mb (preferably 512)
now its worked but give another error Database server does not support the InnoDB storage engine.

Follow these steps:

  1. Open c:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf Once opened, look for this line:

    LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
    

    and remove the # at the beginning of the line, so it should look like this:

    LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
    
  2. Go to the c:\xampp\php\php.ini file Now find this line within php.ini:

    ;extension=php_curl.dll
    

    and remove the semicolon (;) so that the line will look like this:

    extension=php_curl.dll
    
  3. During the installation, Magento will require a few minutes to complete one of its tasks. Your XAMPP installation is likely to allow less time than this and as a result, will corrupt the Magento installation. The solution for this problem is to increase the timeout threshold in the php.ini file.

    You can do this by locating the following string in php.ini:

    max_execution_time = 30
    

    and increasing the 30 to 1600 so that it looks like this:

    max_execution_time = 1600
    

    After that, save php.ini and close out the file.

    Note: Use bitnami to download magento. It's working fine with xamp.

I followed this tutorial and successfully installed Magento on Localhost Xampp webserver. I think it's because you didn't turn on these extensions in php.in:

extension=php_curl.dll
extension=php_mcrypt.dll
extension=php_pdo_sqlite.dll
extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll
extension=php_soap.dll

You should install the extensions above first. Also, remember to clear cache of your browser. If it's not working you may try to start from scratch with the tutorial I used. Hope this helps
