 * I had that …. check that all your files have correctly uploaded in all directories.
   I had a file (in wp-includes/) I think that had failed to transfer properly.

 * Did you delete all the old wp files from the server before uploading the new 
   ones ?
 * What are you using for your ftp client?

 * I had the same thing last night. Tried everything for 2 hours to fix it. Deleted
   everything.. started over. Deleted files that were being replaced by the nightly.
   Uploaded nightly files. Go to [http://www.XXXXXX/wp-admin/upgrad.php](http://www.XXXXXX/wp-admin/upgrad.php)
   
   and ended up with that error…again. Restarted everything from scratch to include
   new database. Same thing…
 * So, back to 1.2.2 I am 🙁

 * I’m having the exact same problem. For two days of nightlies 1/11 and 1/13.
 * I think I’m going to try an older nightlie.

 * I just read in another post that 1.2 and 1.5 can’t “share” the same database 
   tables. But what if you are upgrading from 1.2 to 1.5 in the nightlies? Does 
   that impact the tables? Are the tables somehow different and this error might
   be a result of the conflict in the table names or structure?
 * Just a thought.

 * Okay, I dropped (deleted) all the tables in my database and cleaned it out. Then,
   instead of doing an upgrade, I ran the install and I’m now looking at the new“
   dashboard”. Excellent. I had only set up categories, easily replaced, so this
   wasn’t a loss, but this will have to be fixed for others upgrading who can’t 
   afford to lose anything.

 * Yeah it seems as though you lose all the posts from 1.2 . I even tried running
   sql queries via phpmyadmin to get the posts included but it was too much fiddling.
   I have resigned to having a new blog now..

 * It would be handy if a hack or plugin could be designed to merge the posts into
   the new version…
