Why are you re-running the installer, all you have to do is copy and paste the directory structure and files, keeping your images folder and localsettings.php file the same.
I made the upgrade a couple of days ago and following the method above I haven't had any problems.

Hi Arthur, thanks for the reply. I guess I was just confused by this description in the UPGRADE file:
Basically, to upgrade a wiki you: * Back up your data! (See Backups! below) * Extract the new archive. If you can do this in a clean directory that's great, but it should work to extract over the old files too. This may be easier if you have images etc in place and don't want to move them around, but remember to back up first! * Run the installer to upgrade the database schema (if necessary).
Since I had no idea if running the installer was necessary, I did it anyway. I would think that doing so when it's not necessary should not throw any errors. Could this be a bug?
I'll try upgrading this time without running the installer.
Thanks,
Scott
