Hi,
I restored the database and did a clean install of 1.8.2, make sure it worked, then unpacked 1.9.2 and had the support guy run update.php (I have no command-line access, so unfortunately I have to rely on them) and he didn't report any problems. Mind you I have no idea if they are doing something wrong or not, as for some reason they never bother to give me the output even when I request it. I am assuming they are running the script properly since it isn't exactly rocket science. Its one of those support ticket based systems, which makes communication with them difficult.
Anyway, same exact problem as before. So then I delete everything and restore the database as before, do a fresh install of 1.8.2., works fine, then unpack 1.9.2 and I go with the web installer this time around. Worked smoothly and updated the tables perfectly, not even a need for refreshLinks. Which is strange because when I upgraded from 1.6.8 to 1.7.1 and ran the web installer, I had to run refreshLinks.
So anyway, everything works fine now. Either the support guy at my provider was doing something wrong with update.php or the script has some issue with the server. Its also possible I suppose that he wasn't running it at all and just saying he did, but that would be completely bizarre behavior. But one never knows with these characters.
Thanks,
Sven

Hi Brion,
I did everything according to the upgrade instructions as per usual since the 1.6 branch: do backups, unpack the new files over the old ones, make sure AdminSettings is setup properly, and run update.php. I've also run refreshLinks.php since 1.6 for good measure. This is the first time I'm receiving this error, so this is pretty strange. I'm upgrading from 1.8.2 to 1.9.2.
Run update.php on 1.9.2 and save the output. Confirm that it's creating the table.
