i've been trying to follow along w/ some tutorials for Drupal 7 but these tuts require replacing the entire sites folder. but when doing so, this triggers in the installer. i'm trying to avoid.
what exactly, or which file is it that triggers the install page? how can i avoid this.

i've installed these site locally using Acqui Dev Desktop.

Why are you trying to trigger the install page? Is Drupal not installed?

i'm trying NOT to trigger the install. my post says,
when i replace the sites folder, it sets off the installer, which i do not want to happen

Why are you replacing your sites folder? That deletes your settings.php - which in turn triggers the install.

If it can't find database info in /sites/default/settings.php (or it fails to find /sites/default/settings.php which will happen in a new install) the system will assume it needs to do a new install. Don't replace /sites or at least copy back your settings.php :)
