What does it say in the error message?
edit; whoops sorry am still a bit sleepy will read better next time haha.

make sure you folder starts like this /foldernamehere/wordpress

if i don't do it this way i get the same problem.

Delete or rename .htaccess file in your root directory.

do you have fantastico?

Thanks guys it works now!

Well, I will assume that you uploaded your wordpress with FTP. In that case make sure you have transfer mode in the right setting. i.e. not just binary or something.

Also, if your host has like Cpanel, Fantastico or Directadmin you can use the application installer to install WP. Everything is then done for you.

Good luck

since you did not give the exact path? I have to ask:

when you unzip wordpress (for a manual install) - you get a folder titled
'wordpress' .... now did you upload THAT folder to the root of your domain OR the contents of the folder?

I have seen quite a few people upload the folder and not just the files in it!

it would make the install path:
yourdomain.xxx/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php

which would give you an error as the wp-admin folder is 1 level deeper than it should be.

if this is the case? just set it up so that the files in the 'wordpress' folder (and not the folder) are at the root, and you should be fine
