 * I uploaded to ftp: / file installer.php and I have this instead of the standard
   wordpress installation. (this is not my first installation of Duplicator, but
   the first with such a error)

 * Hey [@noupe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/noupe/),
 * Thanks for the feedback! There are a few items in the FAQ that may provide a 
   solution to this issue, this one may get you going.
 *     – Browsing to the installer displays PHP code or it won’t download from the
   Packages screen.

 * Did you try the options in the FAQ above? 99% of the time this issue has to do
   with how the file was FTPed over to the new server.
