installation - Disable redirect to install.php

For example, i include 'wp-load.php' from external file. but if WP is not installed, then while i access that file, it redirects to '/wp-admin/install.php'. How to disable redirection, even if WP not installed, it doesnt matter to me.

Well, One trick seems to be defining a constant:

define( 'WP_INSTALLING', 'smth' );  

wp_installing(false);

Seems to be the way to go though using the constant is still supported.

Calling the function without params returns actual status, passing false disables installing mode.

See docs: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_installing/
