Have you installed any blog on Hostgator using auto installer like fantastico?
According to your post BlueHost installation wizard is differ than HostGator.

Fantastico is a tool designed to install popular scripts. Fantastico is a program that runs with the popular online web hosting control panel “Cpanel” to offer web hosting users the choice to install popular scripts within some clicks.
Fantastico is easy to use. Generally it is for the non technical user, but it also found huge interest from more & more geek users who want not to waste time on manually configuring many installation files to install a script on their hosting space. Fantastico is good option if you want to install something like WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Xoop, PHPbb, Wiki, Zen photos or any other CMS.
Fantastico is generally included for free in web hosting packages by companies like BlueHost, HostGator, DreamHost for the user. Web Hosts have to license the software per server, but that license fee has shown to be a great investment for them. Users like the variety of scripts that comes readily available with it. Fantastico is available for Linux hosting only.
However there is one disadvantage of Fantastico. User depends on the hosting provider as well as on the creators of Fantastico to update their scripts regularly.
