The Joomla! Forum ™

I have had Visual Studio now nearly 6 months. This is the first time I've run into problems trying to install any kind of extension.

I tried to install it twice, once with MySQL & SQL Server…
New database, of course…

I did a search here at the forum already, maybe I didn't dig far enough…

Below is a copy of the log file that was generated… Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope :-)
