 * Good grief. That was the problem. My zip program was broken and wasn’t unzipping
   the files to the correct folders.
 * Fixed now. Installation ran. Now I just need to figure out how to uninstall so
   I can use the correct user for creating the database tables.
 * Thank you for your assistance.

 * > zip it wihout wordpress folder (i mean, i enter wordpress folder select all
   > files and folders there , then zip it)
 * I have a problem. I’m not seeing folders in the extracted WordPress stuff. This,
   I suspect, has been my problem all along. I see plenty of files, but no folders.
 * ——————-
 * Ignore what I just posted. I just realized my zip program went bonkers and didn’t
   unzip the files properly. Instead of unzipping to their folder locations, it 
   unzipped everything into a single root folder. And it’s not working properly 
   when I try and force it to the original folders.
 * Thank you for the hints. As soon as I fix my zip program (I think it’s corrupted),
   I’ll try this again.
