GoDaddy has all you need for WordPress. Use their stuff. My guess is that uploading WP from the outside doesn’t connect with all the other pieces that are required.

I have to agree that my computer must be strange. So how can the compressed folder wizard be fixed when everything else works fine?!? No big deal because I found a way around it. Just annoyed that somehow Windoze screwed up again. I am not willing to spend three days rebuilding a computer to figure out why the extraction wizard died.

I downloaded WS again and rebooted the computer. XP’s extraction wizard still crashed after taking forever. I downloaded IZArc and it worked fine and only took a few seconds. There is something strange with the current WP zip file.

I was going to try WinZip but changed my mind. Then I discovered that WinZip’s setup program can not be exited and keeps the computer from rebooting. I had to power down to get rid of it.

Did you verify that there is a file called install.php in a folder called wp-admin?

Weird. The wizard failed all 4 times at the same place and took a Windows Explorer window with it. I will have to try a different unzip program when I get back to the computer.

I had to leave the computer before I got a chance to try another unzip program. If WordPress uses a zip algorithm that is incompatible with the tool that comes with Windows that fact should be mentioned on the download page.
