As titled suggests I can't read php files locally or on the net. Hence when I try to complete the installation by pointing to my 'blog' subdirectory and the install.php file, explorer gives me an error that it cannot find the file. Otherwise I believe I have done the rest of the installation correctly. Incl adding my database details.
You should not "read" the PHP files "locally". PHP is a server side script/language, so it will not work on your computer - you can see it only as code, not parsed.
If you get the "not found" error when you go to your site, i.e.
example.com/wp-admin/install.php typed in your browser... then it means you did not upload the files where you think you did.
And don't double post:
