I have been using wordpress 2.9.2 successfully. however when I installed bbpress in a sub directory under my wordpress install, it takes me through the install successfully and says everything is complete. It does not show up under settings in my WP admin area. And when i type in the address that i used for my bbpress install it takes me to a page that says

Oh dear!

bbPress is already installed.

Perhaps you meant to run the upgrade script instead?

everything i do takes me back to bbpress/bb-admin/install.php

bbPress isn’t a WordPress plugin. It’s a standalone software. Go to bbpress/ and you will access your brand new installation.
