I can't see the mw-config folder in the 1.20.2 tar distrib kit. As it is required - with an index.php in it - to install Mediawiki, I'm wondering how to make it appear in order to proceed to the installation process. Thanks for any help.

Maybe you did not download MediaWiki from the official servers or your download was broken?
However: This file is the official download and it contains the mw-config folder.
Thanks for your reply. But I don't see the mw-config folder in the file from the link you gave either (http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/5716/mw1202kitcontent.jpg). BTW, it is the file I downloaded already.
That is ... interesting. I used WinRar to open the file (just like you obviously do) and I do see all folders...
In your screenshot it seems like the file would be named "...tar" and not ...tar.gz. Does it change anything when you add that ".gz" again? It might be that WinRar determines the compression mechanism depending on the file type (at least I cannot open the file [at all], when the ".gz" is missing).
Really strange !!! I just used 7-ZIP instead of WinRAR and all folders appear now ... including mw-config !!! I have no explanation, but I got it !!! Thanks for your help.
Sometimes computer programs do strange things - just like humans. ;-)
