 * This is my first time installing WP. I could not find all the files needed for
   2.6.1 so I start to install 2.5. Now I am getting the following error. What am
   I doing wrong?
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_install() in /home/content/s/c/o/scotmarsh/
   html/wp-admin/install.php on line 87

 * Click the download button at the top of the page and grab 2.6.2
    and try that.
   2.5 has security issues.
 * The error likely means all of the files are not uploaded.
