I have a hosting package with php and mysql. I downloaded the forum files and I see a bunch of folders with different tiles  like index.php languages and other stuff. What do I do with all of these and what do I do wit the Php or mysql? Confused about all of this stuff.

To install the forum, just run the install.php from your browser. Like:
www.your_site.com/forum

(I assume your forum files are placed a folder named *forum*)

I went to my site

www.mydomain.com/instill.php

and I get this message:

A critical error has occurred.

This installer was unable to find the installer's language file or files. They should be found under:

/Themes/default/languages

In some cases, FTP clients do not properly upload files with this many folders. Please double check to make sure you have uploaded all the files in the distribution.

If that doesn't help, please make sure this install.php file is in the same place as the Themes folder.

If you continue to get this error message, feel free to look to us for support.

Check permissions on you files/folders as per the install instructions.
If they are all ok try uploading files to your server again.
