I did that already, it is giving me require_once() errors:
Warning: require_once(/home/mhintzke/daemondeveloper.com/wordpress/wp-includes/load.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/mhintzke/daemondeveloper.com/wordpress/wp-load.php on line 48
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/mhintzke/daemondeveloper.com/wordpress/wp-includes/load.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/local/php5/lib/pear') in /home/mhintzke/daemondeveloper.com/wordpress/wp-load.php on line 48
Even though all the files are in the same directory

-If the above troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, try manually re-upload all files and folders EXCEPT the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory from a fresh download of WordPress. This should replace your core files without changing your content and settings in wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory.
Ok so this is weird, the requires (and you) imply that there are subdirectories in the wordpress zip I downloaded. However, the zip contains no Folders, only files.. So what the heck is happening?
someone please help me!! I do not understand this at all…the zip file I downloaded has like 6 different index.php and a lot of other duplicates for other files..is that right? When I copy to a new folder it asks to replace like 300 files. There are still no folders, so idk how they expect me to use /wp-admin/install.php or anything. This makes no sense…
The zip file you download and when you unzip that file you will see that you have wordpress folder and in that folder you should have 3 folders wp-admin,wp-includes and wp-content and some files you need to upload all those files folders for wordpress to work.
If you already have other files in root then is best to move them or install wordpress in folder.
