FOURTH LINE OF 1ST PARAGRAPH IN wp-config
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value
OR
Define (AUTH_KEY ... is the beginning of the fourth line 2nd paragraph:
// Change each KEY to a different unique phrase. You won't have to remember the phrases later,
// so make them long and complicated. You can visit http://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/
// to get keys generated for you, or just make something up. Each key should have a different phrase.
define(AUTH_KEY (l\yOgw<=:MIPb7 (i~FK}<CPQt>_0}/F+)QG%GvK8I0fltu=zvI[If,Sk(r\s); // Change this to a unique phrase.
define(SECURE_AUTH_KEY u!=\ZoPZkYQU@qPr2QFKLE5\\Q|rWTmH1(>R6UDekik8}AIU&ecM./RWsjX$z&#); // Change this to a unique phrase.

The "define" syntax:
define(name, value);
where name is name of the constant (SECURE_AUTH_KEY, LOGGED_IN_KEY, etc.) and value is number or string value, or PHP expression: 1, 'test', 1 + rand(), $another_var, etc.
So you need to change the code as follows (add comma and quotes around the text):
define(AUTH_KEY, '(l\yOgw<=:MIPb7 (i~FK}<CPQt>_0}/F+)QG%GvK8I0fltu=zvI[If,Sk(r\s');
define(SECURE_AUTH_KEY, 'u!=\ZoPZkYQU@qPr2QFKLE5\\Q|rWTmH1(>R6UDekik8}AIU&ecM./RWsjX$z&#');
define(LOGGED_IN_KEY, 'u)$p,R_Kh*Hie=R#0z+2NFD\n/\)CHdc-9{N0jbDG|!#=$/FoVp~N46k@@$=');(but please change the keys so they are public now :-) )
Visiting http://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/ provides you a set of uniquely generated values you can copy and paste directly into wp-config.php

I have tried the generated values from http://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/ twice with no luck. I have also tried the suggestion from Member wpbct7. Below is the current codes as follows. When I go to re try to install through Explorer it comes back with the error message instantly.
<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', "****"); // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', '****'); // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', '****'); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
define('DB_COLLATE', '');
// Change each KEY to a different unique phrase. You won't have to remember the phrases later,
// so make them long and complicated. You can visit http://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/
// to get keys generated for you, or just make something up. Each key should have a different phrase.
define(AUTH_KEY, 'S1khIrv4@0/9rm#ppmx]~Ed1%4]3L8R6pm=A$E!}iC3[CfYh@vl@J<~\\bcsEq~s');
define(SECURE_AUTH_KEY, '_r9b08x<GP~\'c$_}Gtt=<-{BNS13%\sudPkL:BlSh]SDkcA*2UEMGAxj~\lccw7Bj\');
define(LOGGED_IN_KEY, 'K]n!^WOQi(tho4[5~\o[34(r?30L?rS_mBLF36bUe!usuu(30#pl]eAcqo2KH?d?F');// Change this to a unique phrase.
// You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix
$table_prefix = 'wp_'; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!
// Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
// chosen language must be installed to wp-content/languages.
// For example, install de.mo to wp-content/languages and set WPLANG to 'de'
// to enable German language support.
define ('WPLANG', '');
/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');
?>
sigh, do this:
go get a clean wp-config.php
make those 3 lines look like this:
define('AUTH_KEY', ''); // Change this to a unique phrase.
define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY', ''); // Change this to a unique phrase.
define('LOGGED_IN_KEY', ''); // Change this to a unique phrase.all you have done is removed the: put your unique phrase here from each line.
Notice thats what is left is one pair of single quotes. Your key(s) needs to go inside those single quotes, and should not contain any single or double quotes of it's own.
I would suggest putting your cursor in the middle of the quotes and just typing randomly, avoiding both quotes keys.

Hmmm... the problem is that everybody accepted that the 4th line was whatever the OP thought it was, although it is obvious that s/he has no clue about it.
In the code posted above line #4 is:
define('DB_USER', '****'); // Your MySQL username
There is no script that would count lines by paragraphs, as the OP posted!!!
i didnt assume that. her key stuff was wrong though in her original paste, and as thats where she's at now, thats what I answered. :)

In PHP string the \ character prevent the ' character from being treated as string end. So the following code is incorrect:
define(SECURE_AUTH_KEY, '_r9b08x<GP~\'c$_}Gtt=<-{BNS13%\sudPkL:BlSh]SDkcA*2UEMGAxj~\lccw7Bj\');
You need to remove last \ from the string:
define(SECURE_AUTH_KEY, '_r9b08x<GP~\'c$_}Gtt=<-{BNS13%\sudPkL:BlSh]SDkcA*2UEMGAxj~\lccw7Bj');
