Are they upgrading from an earlier version of SimplePortal? If so, which version?

It's the first time he is installing/using the Portal

Okay, that indicates to me that:
- He tried to install SP and something went wrong with the install process.
- He then tried to install it again, and now he gets this error message.

I need to know the error message from the first step, if he drops the 'smf_sp_%' tables and then runs the install1-1.php file in his main forum directory, it should display the relevant error message. It could also be in his forum error log.
