   Well, the title says it all, really.
   The file is indeed there, in the root directory. If I try running setup-config.php instead, it doesn't run and only does a text dump of the content of the file.
   My web hosting does have the minimum requirement and I did create a database. I'm a really confused newbie...
   Help?

   Are you installing WP in the root also? The wp-config.php file should live in the root of the WP install and if the WP install is in a subdirectory, then THAT is where wp-config should be. I know just enough to be dangerous, but I do have a few WP installs under my belt.
   The biggest obstacle seems to be that pesky wp-config.php file. Double check the information there. Make sure that you assign a user to your database. It's not enough to create the new database and the new user; MySQL does not automatically link them. This must be done manually, usually in PHPMyAdmin.

   you definitely changed it from wp-cofig-sample.php to wp-config.php ?

   Where is your 'index.php' ?
   Into which directory have you installed or do you want to install it into ?

   I 've had no luck to make it run.
   http://xxxx/wordpress/wp-admin/wp-admin/install.php
   ^^^^^^^^
   it looks like install.php is getting redirect one level too far -- to nonexisting directory.
