   I attempted to install wp-e-commerce and it failed during installation.
   As a result, I could not access admin (I encountered a blank screen with an error message - sorry, I didn't save the error message. To restore admin function, I had to delete the plugin from wp-content/plugins/

   Update: it's not the plugin - it's a memory problem.

   I was able to install wp-e-commerce only after doing each of the following (I tried this MANY different ways before getting it to work):
   1) create a file called php.ini (using a text editor) and adding the following:
   

   ;; set memory limit for cache.php
   memory_limit = 128M

   ...upload (FTP or cPanel File Manager) the php.ini file in 3 places;
   - above the root directory
   - in the root directory (public_html or www)
   - and in the wp-includes directory

   2) Add the following line below the opening <?php tag in the file wp-includes/cache.php:
   ini_set('memory_limit','128M'); // set memory to prevent fatal errors

   (...yes it's modifying a core file, but it works!...just make a note of the modification)

   After that, create an htaccess file for the wp-includes directory and insert the following directive:

   3) Use a text editor to create a .htaccess file and add the following:
   

   # set memory limit for cache.php
   php_value memory_limit 128M

   ...upload the .htaccess file to the wp-includes directory.

   Log out of admin, clear browser cache, login and install the module.

   See the following for details:

   I hope this helps...

   Udate: adding the .htaccess file to the /wp-includes/ directory broke the WYSIWYG editor. Try removing it after installing the wp-e-commerce plugin...WYSIWYG mode should work again.
