help!!!!

I made an attempt to install easyMOD last week, then it didnt work, so I deleted the files. A friend's installing it for me again, and he says it says "Critical Error: This version of EM has already been installed. Terminating to prevent reinstallation."...What do I need to do to uninstall the previous attempted installation?

Need URGENT help!
Thanks in advance!!

SQL

Code: Select all

DROP TABLE `phpbb_easymod`

No... just use the Version Changer to change the version to something other than what you have installed (which should be 0.2.0), such as 0.2.0a. Then try to reinstall.

[ChALkeR]

what for? he has no mods installed with easymod. and sql is easyer =)))

[GPHemsley]

Dropping the EasyMOD table won't even fix the problem, so no, SQL is not easier.

[ChALkeR]

it will.

[GPHemsley]

it will.

I've been doing this longer than you have. Trust me, your SQL query will not fix the problem.

ok. i see, em also writes its verion data to phpbb_config.
But i see no point on doing that, because it already exists in phpbb_easymod.

They are used for two different purposes. The one in config is the version tracker. The one in easymod is the entry for EasyMOD, which it treats as any other MOD you may have installed.

i know that. but this:

Code: Select all

SELECT `mod_version` FROM `phpbb_easymod` WHERE `mod_title`='EasyMOD' ORDER BY `mod_id` DESC LIMIT 1;

will bring you your EM version

what for does it have another field in config?
