 * Hello,
 * I need to reinstall a website which has an issue. The website I want to retore
   is down and we have no access to it from front end or backend. The problem is
   I need to take the backup zip file which our hosting provider made which is the
   latest backup version we have (and I cannot use the duplicator file which is 
   3 weeks old).
 * I would like to use the installer.php file to install the website, but the only
   installer file I have for this website is from 3 weeks ago. Do you have any generic
   installer.php file we can download?
