 * Hi, i’ve tried to install wordpress several times over the last few days only
   to recieve the same error. I’ve tried various fixes suggested on the internet
   but none has worked. Doing a web serch on portions of the error code has led 
   me to find many blogs that are also stuck at this stage, so i know i’m not the
   only one. Can someone please help.
 * I’m using:
    php – 5.2.5 mysql – 4.1.7 the install is a [url removed to prevent
   nastiness] and the error I get is:
 * `WordPress database error Table 'Dan1M_MSR.wp_options' doesn't exist for query
   INSERT INTO wp_options (option_name, option_value, autoload) VALUES ('cron', '
   a:2:{i:1228396339;a:1:{s:17:\"wp_update_plugins\";a:1:{s:32:\"40cd750bba9870f18aada2478b24840a\";
   a:3:{s:8:\"schedule\";s:10:\"twicedaily\";s:4:\"args\";a:0:{}s:8:\"interval\";
   i:43200;}}}s:7:\"version\";i:2;}', 'yes') made by add_option WordPress database
   error Table 'Dan1M_MSR.wp_options' doesn't exist for query INSERT INTO wp_options(
   option_name, option_value, autoload) VALUES ('random_seed', '8056dbc3adfcfab73f4f2067f4fc5ff2','

 * my guess is the windows server is not configured properly for mysql integration
   
   can your host switch you to a linux server? all of your scripts would run better
   and faster

 * I have several other sites with the same host that asp.net so with MSSQL databases
   serving them. I’m really trying to evaluate moving several of my sites over to
   use wordpress so moving server at the moment isn’t really an option. Is there
   any other way of fixing this?

 * These other sites you have with this host, are they on the same server and do
   they use the same plugins? If they do, then this one install has something different.
   Is the account authorized to use cron (some hosts charge extra for some greedy
   reason)? You’ve tried reinstalling the plugins to try and get the tables recreated(
   if it’s a plugin thing at all!)?
 * I agree with Samboll. Why use windows? Especially since you’re evaluating WP 
   it should be in its native environment. If these blogs are for personal use and
   you’re already setup with windows then I understand, but you’re forwarned that
   some of the magic doesn’t sparkle on windows.
