You MUST also create the INITIAL tables in your database. The install.php script is looking for some TABLES in your database. From that, it creates the additional tables required by DaDaBik.

(1) You create the database.
(2) You create the initial tables you require for your install. eg: Primary Key, Last Name, First Name, Address 1, Address 2, etc, etc, etc.......
(3) You run install.php

I use MySQL-Front to create the initial database tables.

Hope this helps.
