Alternate way to populate database before install???

Even after the begining of installation I get a success at importing the tables (instant) and data into my MySQL database... but when I get to steps 5-7 of the installation it gives me an error that a required table doesnt exist.

 

So I logged into the database and saw it was completely empty. I tried the installation twice with two different databases with the same results.

 

Is there anyway I can populate the database prior to running the installation or does anyone have a fix for this problem??

I've never done it myself but in the install dir is a SQL file, just import that to your database from mysqladmin and it should work. View the file and see if the sql to creat the table is there, I don't know why it wouldn't be.

 

Drifter.
