Unfortunately, there's not a ton of actual input I can give on helping 
solve their problem because we don't have any error messages or other 
info to go on.  Just that "it never goes smoothly", which may well be an 
accurate description but leaves much to be desired in regard to 
diagnostic data.

But if you make sure these steps are followed, you shouldn't run into 
problems:

1: Configure site
2: Configure admin user on site
3: Configure MySQL db
4: Ensure site is configured for su-php and web is owned by admin user 
from step 2 above
5: Have user FTP WordPress to site using the admin user created in step 
2 above
6: Run the WP installer.
