Windows Instalation Issue - Admin login - already installed (2 posts)

    I have upgraded an install of WP from 2.3 to 2.5 no problem the other day and all is still working fine. Today I tried to install a new blog on the same server, but not all went smoothly. I have installed many instances of 2.3 without issues, though this one is defeating me.

    The blog address is a sub-domain. The installation page renders OK and creates the DB tables no problem. I get an admin username and password, great.

    Now the problems. I click to login and the page is rendered without css. It appears to work though, redirecting me to wp-admin, though the page the redirects again to:

    http://***.***.com/wp%2Dadmin/install.php?step=2/wp-login.php?redirect_to=%2Fwp-admin%2F

    This page is rendered properly. Though it tells me that wordpress is already installed and to drop the tables if I want to re-intall. I get no other options.

    It is running on a windows box with php 5, my sql 1 and IIS 6. Like I said above, no problems installing previous versions of WP from scratch.

    Anyone got any ideas?

    Thanks

    Fixed it now. For some reason the blog url and home page had this in it:

    http://***.***.com/wp%2Dadmin/install.php?step=2/wp-login.php?redirect_to=%2Fwp-admin%2F

    instead of just http://***.***.com/

    Which is a strange one. Any ideas?
