 * I’ve deleted and downloaded several times now, and the file wp-admin.php doesn’t
   exist. There is a wp-admin.css, but no .php
 * Any suggestions?

 * There is no wp-admin.php file. But there should be an install.php file in the
   wp-admin directory.

 * there is no `wp-admin.php`. The `install.php` in in the `/wp-admin/` directory.
   just point your browser to it to start the install.
