I’m going to start a new thread for this because it’s really a different question from the original and the discrepancy between what you get in 3.2.1 IIS and what you expect from the instructions in the installation tutorial is quite confusing.

Thank you very much for your help Govpatel. Your advice has certainly helped me progress this problem.

In the end I had to start from scratch. I couldn’t return the root to normal function because of the overwritten index.php and the new sub folder I made wouldn’t work either, apparently for the same reason. So the hosting company has set me up with a new webspace and I’m going to try installing 3.2.1 IIS there as govpatel suggests.

Just a quick question: When I unzip the IIS version, instead of just getting a folder called wordpress I also get three additional files (install.sql, manifest.xml and parameters.xml), do I need to do something with these files? Do I upload them just like I upload the contents of the wordpress folder, or are they there for some other purpose?

I’m sure the answer to this question is something obvious, but I just haven’t been able to find it.

I think, if I remember correctly, that my hosting company may have told me to create the file when I was starting. But I can’t remember exactly. I’ll try your suggestion in the morning and see how it goes.
Thanks again.

Great thanks for the response. I’ll make a new folder and install that version to it.

Does it matter that I have already overwritten the index.php file in the root with the wordpress one when I ftp’d the first time?
