We typically don’t support automatic installers here, but here are two things you could try:
1. Delete the files and the database that the installer created and install manually.
2. Download WordPress and use an FTP client to upload just the /wp-includes/
directory.
sorry i didnt make it clear, I did upload all the files via FTP.
and then went to /wp-admin
it said it will create the config file, asked for database details. which I input. then the next screen was that error?

Ok, try either re-uploading just the /wp-includes/ directory or all of the files again.
Just tried, still the same error 🙁

Check the settings on your FTP client and make sure that you’re uploading the files as ASCII and not binary.
