WordPress Already Installed when it isn’t

    I had previously put v 2.0.1 in my hosting environment but hadn’t gone through the install wizard in wp-admin. I deleted all the old files and uploaded v 2.5.1. I made sure the DSN connection was correct. I went to the wp-admin directory and filled out the Blog Name and email address and hit Install WordPress. I then got the following error:

    You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first.

    I went to my phpMyAdmin and dropped all the tables in the database. Repeated the above steps and got the same error. I tried completely deleting the database and reinstalling it. Got the same error.

    Please help. The blog can be viewed at blog.jadeinc.com.

    Thanks!

    You have some strange things and redirects going on there. Why not put in a request at http://install4free.wordpress.net ?
    There is a lot going on and I have a feeling it will be hard to diagnose thru a support forum thread.

    Having said that, I would:
    Delete database and create a new one with a completely different name, user and pass.
    Delete all wordpress files – get a new zip – re-install wordpress with new files. It looks as if some might be missing or corrupted.
