Good grief. That was the problem. My zip program was broken and wasn’t unzipping the files to the correct folders.
Fixed now. Installation ran. Now I just need to figure out how to uninstall so I can use the correct user for creating the database tables.
Thank you for your assistance.
zip it wihout wordpress folder (i mean, i enter wordpress folder select all files and folders there , then zip it)
I have a problem. I’m not seeing folders in the extracted WordPress stuff. This, I suspect, has been my problem all along. I see plenty of files, but no folders.

Ignore what I just posted. I just realized my zip program went bonkers and didn’t unzip the files properly. Instead of unzipping to their folder locations, it unzipped everything into a single root folder. And it’s not working properly when I try and force it to the original folders.
Thank you for the hints. As soon as I fix my zip program (I think it’s corrupted), I’ll try this again.
