missing 'install.php' script file in WordPress folder

    I just uploaded the 3.2.1 version on a website in a subdirectory file. However, when I pointed it to a browser for installation according to the following example:

    http://domain.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php

    It could not find it. So taking a closer look at the WordPress files, I discovered that the ‘install.php’ script file was not included. Could this be the reason why it can not be found with this string command in a browser?

    If so, how can I get the ‘install.php’ script. Does WordPress have it?

    Thanks!

    Try uploading a fresh copy of WordPress 3.2.1. The install.php file is within the wp-admin folder.

    Thank you. I just found it. However, I’m still having problems getting the script to execute through a browser.

    I’m new to this. I see others have had the same problem. What gives?

    you don’t need to point to the install file. Just point the browser to the sub directory you created.

    eg: http://domainname.com/sub-dir/

    if the WordPress not installed it will start the install.

    Remember you have to configure the wp-config.php file

    There is a sample file called wp-configsample.php use it as base and save it as wp-config.php

    That is no longer necessary. wp-config.php can be created on-the-fly during the install.
