# install.php missing

 * I just installed WordPress 2.9.2, and tried to follow the 5-minute installation
   guide.
 * However, I noticed that my install.php is missing (in the wp-admin folder). I
   used GoDaddy Hosting Connection to install my WordPress blog.
 * Kindly help me on this. All I see is install-helper.php, but it gives a “Error
   establishing a database connection” error.

 * Download a fresh copy of WordPress. [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients)
   into your site (or use whatever file management application your host provides)
   and re-upload the entire wp-admin folder.
