error using full installer

[guybr]

I tried using the site's full installer of Joomla 2.5 with VM 3: I was able to install and reach the control panel, but when done, I see these messages:

Taking config from file
Taking config from file

Install Virtuemart first, click on the menu component and select VirtueMart

and whatever I do related to Virtuemart, like clicking either of the 2 available buttons ("Reset all tables and do a fresh install" or "Reset all tables and install sample data") or clicking any other VM-related option yields this message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file, expecting function (T_FUNCTION) in /home/content/12/12345678/html/subdirectory/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/helpers/vmtable.php on line 479

I tried to install VM 3 alone via the CP and also got an install error. Any ideas what's wrong?

Hmmm, I don't want to bite a hand that's trying to feed me but the PM looks a little spammy -?
