Problem

When trying to set up a local install of Drupal 8 (beta 1) in Wampserver 2.5 - 64 bits (latest version), I get a routing error during installation.

I used following file to install Wampserver: http://sourceforge.net/projects/wampserver/files/WampServer%202/Wampserv...
I used these files to install Drupal: http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-8.0.0-beta1.zip

The installation GUI takes me through the installation process, however, suddenly (when performing the actual installation, just after you entered database connection info) this error message appears:

Additional uncaught exception thrown while handling exception.

I suspect this is due to an error related to PHP 5.5, which is enabled by Wampserver. However, if I install Drupal 8 on Xampp or Aquia Dev Desktop (with PHP 5.4), it works perfectly, but only under PHP 5.4. Running PHP 5.5 in Dev Desktop results in an error in the installation process just as well.

Proposed resolution

Validate the code against the current PHP 5.5 codebase. Perhaps there is a bug.

Can you note what version of Dev Desktop are you using? I will test

@meba it's WAMP server 2.5 (linked above) - not any Acquia or whatever Dev Desktop distribution.

I'm having the same problem. Just downloaded WAMP server 2.5 as well with PHP5.5.12 included and I get the same error. I tried adding PHP5.4.33 but I can't get that working on WAMP.

I think this is critical or major, D8 should work with php 5.5

The problem is that the actual error message never appers, ... it would be great if you could have a look what happens in _drupal_exception_handler().

#2349441: Regression: 'Front page route not found' Exception when installing Drupal against an existing database might be a duplicate of this issue.
Let's also remove some non-helpful tags.

Drupal 8 requires PHP 5.5 now. Someone reported #2501851: Install Fails on WAMP (Drupal\Core\Config\UnmetDependenciesException: Configuration objects).
