 * When I try to run the install script, I get the following message:
 * Warning: require(/home/billsc6/public_html/wp-includes/load.php) [function.require]:
   failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/billsc6/public_html/
   wp-settings.php on line 19

 * Try re-uploading all files & folders from a **fresh** download of WordPress.

 * I’m having the exact same problem (with load.php). Did re-uploading all the files
   from a fresh download of WordPress work for you? I’ve spent 8 hours on this. 
   Help!
 * Thanks.
