Installation problems

"We came across some problems while checking your permissions... Vanilla seems to have been installed already. You will need to remove the conf/settings.php, conf/database.php files, and all database tables in order to run the installer utility again." I had Vanilla up and running on my pc, then I had to delete it. I tried to reinstall it, I've done a system restore on my computer, tried it on another computer and I keep getting the above message when I try to install Vanilla. I delete the two files indicated, create a new vanilla database in xampp and try again. I get as far as it needing me to add the line to allow access to the database without a password, I do that and then get the above message again. Can you help with this please? Thanks!

    I figured this out. I was copying the line regarding the password to the settings.php file, then telling the install to continue. This apparently is the wrong order. I finished the install, then changed the line and things are working.
