Error reading from database during install Moodle 2.9.2

I am trying to install moodle on a windows server to run moodle courses locally. 

This is my first install of moodle.

I have followed the instructions of the documentation here to install using IIS on windows server, And Mysql. I have phpmyadmin to administrate the database

During the beginning of the web based installer i encounter the errormessage "Error reading from database"
I get the error right after clicking "Continue" on the first page with have I read the conditions and understood them.

From searching here I have found that a solution to some people have been to contact the host of the database, but as i am hosting it locally that will not work for me. 

Debug message follows:

Default exception handler:Error reading from database

Debug:

Unknown system variable 'storage_engine' SELECT @@storage_engine [NULL]

Error code: dmlreadexception
