Description of my issue: When moving a site from localhost to the server I noticed when kickstart first loads after the extraction where it gives the rundown of the server properties, down under site information it is reporting this is a Wordpress 3.5.1 site rather than a Joomla 3.5.1 site. Not sure how to interpret this as the explanation says the information represents the configuration of the server I am restoring to. I am not restoring to a Wordpress server and have never heard of such a thing? Not a deal breaker but threw me for a loop seeing this. For some reason kickstart is seeing the Joomla install package as a WordPress install package? Is there perhaps a Wordpress kickstart that I downloaded by mistake? I tried to find out but I only see one kickstart file to download. Anyway, might be worth a look and see why it reports a WordPress version instead of a Joomla version.

I can understand your confusion. The problem is actually in the installer script, Kickstart has finished its work at that point. The backup restoration in 5.0.4 is broken due to a packaging issue, a couple of WordPress files sneaked into the Joomla! restore script.

However you can still restore your backups, you have to manually delete the files installation/platform/steps.php and installation/platform/iniprocess.php. Then use the Restart button on the restore screen.

That should do the trick, a new version is expected to be released soon.
