I've uploaded the latest S:P version (5.1.4) via FTP and have confirmed that it's there (in the plugins folder).
I go to the WordPress plugins page and click "activate".
Then when I go to click "Install Simple:Press" under the new Forum menu, I get a 404 page not found error. FYI, no "Install" link shows up under the plugin entry (which from what I read is supposed to).
I've deleted and reinstalled everything a number of times, assuming it's an error on my part (as I am a bit of a rookie, but have successfully installed S:P before).
The only plugins I have running are Akismet and WishList...and WordPress Database Backup, but I've deactivated it just in case.
Thanks in advance for your help.

what is the name of the plugin within the plugins folder??? it MUST be simple-press...
if that is correct, what is the url for the 404 error? and what files/dirs do you see within the simple-press folder?

Thanks for the quick reply.
the folder within the plugins folder that's it's in is "simple-press 5.1.4"
and the files/folders/dirs in that folder are:
- admin
- forum
- resources
- sp-api
- sp-startup
- .DS_Store
- License.txt
- simple-press 5.1.4
- sp-config.php
- sp-control.php
the url for the 404 error is http://physique-coaching.com/w.....nstall.php

As I said, the folder MUST be called simple-press... please correct the name of the plugin.... not sure how you got that since the zip you download from us wont create it like that...

I forgot I renamed the download folder by adding "5.1.4" (doh) And when you typed "MUST be simple-press..." I thought the "..." indicated that text followed (as in 5.1.4).
I figured I did something wrong...and I was right 
Everything appears to be working fine now - Thanks!

Not specific to your problem.
But if your new to WordPress, make sure your wp-config.php is read only, or optionally read write for the owner only. (400-600) permissions. Seen many a site get hacked because the config file is readable by the public. (ouch!)

Sadly true. There are many things that WordPress do not tell you early enough - like never use the 'admin' account it initially creates and always change the table prefix form 'wp_' to something else before creating the database...! So most user do neither.
