with QA_EXTERNAL_USERS = true install ends in loop - missing tables

Question

I just downloaded Q2A to install with QA_EXTERNAL_USERS set to true

I did as it says here: http://www.question2answer.org/single-sign-on.php , with qa_get_mysql_user_column_type returning 'INT' and everything seems to be well. When I fire up Chrome and go to the right subfolder it says a lot, and ends up with at button that says [Create Database]

I click that button and it tells me a lot of good stuf with green text and ends up with a link that says "Go to admin center". When I click that I return to [Create Database] I can't get out of this loop.

What I figured out is, that the database-creation seems to miss out on 5 tables:

• brygbaren_qa_messages
• brygbaren_qa_userfields
• brygbaren_qa_userlogins
• brygbaren_qa_userprofile
• brygbaren_qa_users

I really can't seem to figure out what is causing this. Plz help, I'd love to use this stuff ;)

Oh Gees. I did fumble... 25 tables instead of 30, because users are moved to my main site... ONLY alter qa_get_mysql_user_column_type before installing... Otherwise it seems to fail...
