<p>I attempted to install the newest version of Craft and received this error in my logs:</p>

<pre><code>PHP Fatal error:  Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\xampp\htdocs\craft-cms\vendor\yiisoft\yii2\db\Command.php on line 1292
</code></pre>

<p>I'm unsure of the cause of this error, but the the lines around 1292 in the <code>command.php</code> file seem to be an exception handler for database transactions.</p>

<p>I don't achieve a different result after lengthening the execution time. I've tried setting very lenient firewalls and administrator rights. I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling all of the files. I still receive the same error every time.</p>

<p>Any ideas to fix this issue? I haven't found another post about this issue online, so any help would be very much appreciated.</p>

Are you trying to install Craft via command line? Or via the browser?

The PHP execution the browser uses is a different one than the PHP executable the console uses and therefore they have different php.ini files.  Make sure you're editing the correct one when bumping the `max_execution_time` setting.

I installed via the command line.
Thank you both for your responses. I was able to fix the issue by maximizing the execution time.
