I'm on Day #1 of learning Drupal and looking forward to getting into the guts of development. But during the desktop install I get the error "Fatal error: Call to undefined function field_attach_load() in C:\Users\JCross\Sites\devdesktop\drupal-7.38\includes\entity.inc on line 354" during the SITE INFORMATION page.

Any ideas??

Thanks!

NOTE: I'm starting from scratch on the install and getting new problems - no need to answer this question for now.

I’m facing similar problems, and trying some solution founded, but I’m still in the same, but since a few people get results with this, I share to you.

- Could be a problem with the database, if the database name is restricted in length to 7-characters, it seems to work properly (you may only be able to use lower-case alphabetic-characters, numerals, and the under-score character...). Changing the database name to fit these requirements worked for some people.

- Other instead, solved this by droping the current database, create a new one and start the install.php script from scratch.

Im very new to Deupal too, so I’m sorry if I can’t clarify you more. Hope this helps.

Well found some more info here:

The issue seems to be related to 7.38. I went and downloaded 7.36 and was able to get it installed.
