New Installer Acting Up?

[bwilcosh]

I have uploaded a number of WP blogs with no problem with the "old" installer, but ran into a problem with the new installer. I received the "Line 53" error, but know to ignore it. But I received what I think is a major error in the Database installation box:

"Error at the line 34: ) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=3 ;

Query: CREATE TABLE `wp_categories` (
`cat_ID` bigint(20) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`cat_name` varchar(55) NOT NULL default '',
`category_nicename` varchar(200) NOT NULL default '',
`category_description` longtext NOT NULL,
`category_parent` bigint(20) NOT NULL default '0',
`category_count` bigint(20) NOT NULL default '0',
`link_count` bigint(20) NOT NULL default '0',
`posts_private` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0',
`links_private` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`cat_ID`),
KEY `category_nicename` (`category_nicename`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=3 ;

MySQL: Table 'wp_categories' already exists

Stopped on error"

Has any one else had this problem and/or does anyone know what the problem is? The blog is up, but doesn't seem quite right or working correctly.

Tried deleting and installing a second and third time. Turns out that the 3rd time was a "charm" and everything seemed to work just fine. I used the same inputs and believe that the problem was at the Hostgator end with the SQL database.

So, alls well that ends well! :P
