You need to do the configurations in the "config.php" file manually.
The exact procedure is described in the manual:

As mentioned prior I did your install from manual to the letter. Config by hand and chmod 777 the images/logo file, everything worked as I hit the install page ok but, the admin page came up 404. You mentioned full path but it only says localhost, and how come the admin directory can be browsed with all my scripts, is this because it did not install? I have installed Joomla over 30 times and other scripts so this is not my first just need a little coaching , thanks. ???

Are you installing this locally?
Please check that you have extracted all files correctly. Is index.php available in the admin directory (looks like it's not executed since you get the directory listing).

No I am installing on my server and I have a root account usage. Loaded everything to http folder and not installing in directory, but at root for account. checked all files and they are there. my issue is with config I believe. Made all the adjustments manually and my further issue is the setup of same. At the top is a section to edit--------
$db_host = 'localhost';                           // mySQL host
$db_user = 'wap';                                 // mySQL user
$db_password = 'PASSWORD';                        // mySQL password
$db_name = 'wap';                                 // mySQL database name
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
user and password are the 2 areas to change and I did so, used database name just as above, you mention path to server, so where is that to go? This could be the issue I am having or is localhost enough? Even tried to take out local host and put in real path, still no go. :-[

This is the host for database. If you installed Joomla on the same server open configuration.php and see what $mosConfig_host is there. It should be the same.

$mosConfig_host = 'localhost';

So its the same as you have. I checked out your site and others have installed at root for the domain so I guess thats not the issue, do not want to install in a directory. Wonder why its not working?

edit:: your help was really appreciated and anyone reading this should feel comfortable in buying any of your products, as the support is worth more than the price of the script  8) imo
