The manual setup doesn't check for PHP 5 like the autosetup does, so make sure your hosting environment actually meets the minimum requirements -- you can do that by downloading the autosetup and visiting it.
The other possibility is that you didn't upload all the files, but I believe that'd give failed to open error instead.
for some reasons, after the installation the htaccess got rewritten. After adding the extra commands to htaccess again, then the site is working smoothly.
You need to put any changes to the .htaccess at Admin Panel -> Settings -> SEO -> Other .htaccess content, or set on that page to not overwrite .htaccess.

I just purchased the upgrade access, and downloaded the zip and tried the manual installation.
What I have got is the fatal error when pointing to setup.php.
Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: template in /xxxxx/xxxx/xxx/xxx/setup.php on line 36
Any idea what I did wrongly?

oh, I see. I talked to my host, they asked me to add few commands into htaccess which I did and I can install the 5.07 without any problem.
However if I go to homepage. I will have this error.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /classes/generic.php on line 5
I opened that file but can't find an error on line 5. Any help?
