Local install XP, XAMPP functions.php error

  • Hi, I’m new to WordPress but generally pretty careful about following instructions. I’m trying to set up WordPress locally using XAMPP, following the instructions on this page:

    https://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/xampp/

    I got to the point where I was instructed to enter https://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php into my browser (tried this first using Firefox, then IE … same result for both). I get the following error message:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_wp_error() in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\functions.php on line 1320

    I deleted everything once and carefully went back through the setup process again. Same result.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
