 * I unzipped, read the “read me” file. It stated to “Open wp-admin/install.php 
   in your browser”. The files I unzipped have no “wp-admin/install.php” file.

 * I just downloaded a fresh WP and unzipped it. It does have `/wp-admin/install.
   php`
 * So, you may want to try downloading a fresh copy again, and unzip it

 * Hold on …. I think I’ve found it. It seems to want to use Explorer. I really 
   dislike Explorer … can I install using Chrome? It’s telling me “WordPress requires
   that your web server is running PHP. Your server does not have PHP installed,
   or PHP is turned off.” I’ve got to figure out how to turn PHP on.
