    [CMS] CMS Not Installed?

    I did a test on vbulletin4, didn't install CMS to begin with, but now I would like it, if I run upgrade again, it says that it might be installed contact vbulletin, how do I fix this?

    The CMS tables must already be present in the database you're using. Delete the cms prefixed tables then re-run the upgrade script.

    Make sure you're doing this on a test database and backup before doing so!

            It's pretty simple. Select the DB from the Dropdown/Left and then check the boxes with the tables that start cms_ drop them with the menu at the bottom of the list. Re-upgrade. There are plenty of tutorials for phpmyadmin out there

              I've tried this many times, I get this error everytime:

              vBulletin CMS may already be installed. Please contact vBulletin support.

              How can I avoid it, the above fixes doesn't work for me, only a clean install, any ideas?

                Having the same problem.
                However it isn't working.

                Deleted all cms_ references from database, and at stage 6 of the upgrade getting the following error.

                MySQL Error : Table 'xxxxxxx_vb4.cms_node' doesn't exist

                Which is correct, it doesn't exist, it was deleted.

                I have tried to install the suite a number of times, but it doens' install the cms properly, no widgets, no cms stuff.
                It didn't even prompt me for anything about the cms during the install either.
