First, the WordPress window asking for my blog name and e-mail address was coming up when I entered
http://EXAMPLE.com/wp-admin/install.php
but then, when I clicked submit, the second page,
http://EXAMPLE.com/wp-admin/install.php?step=2
came up several times as a 404.
After several such attempts, when I again entered http://EXAMPLE.com/wp-admin/install.php, I now received a page that simply said:
File Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.
It IS on the server. I have MYSQL and PHP--higher than needed versions. All my database info. is correct. What could possibly be wrong???????
Hmm, not sure.
Is WordPress installed in a subdirectory, or at the web root?
Could it be that you're having server issues with your host?

It's in a subdirectory, and the rest of the URL is working, just not that page. I guess I'll upload it to root and see if that works, just to get some idea of whether that's part of the problem, or not (whether a DB can run from the subdirectory).
*sigh*
Yes, it's always possible that the problem is on the host's side, but I haven't gotten a reply to my post and probably won't get a good answer... I'm sure they will just tell me to check my code. They don't "do" code help.

If you installed in a subdirectory, wouldn't the path to your install.php file be //yourdomainname.com/subdirectoryname/wp-admin/install.php? It's possible that I am missing something, (it's been a strange day)!
I agree with Clayton. If it's in a subdirectory, try to access it using the path he describes.

Have you tried clearing your cache?
