It works for me.
1) I have used subversion
2) I have installed the files of the publish_dist/ directory into my
site root
3) I have register_globals on in php.ini
4) I have modified SQL file in documentation/sql/publish_mysql.sql
you can found it on:

5.1.37)
5) Login: admin Password: <leave blank> (with my SQL file)
