Question Joomla 3.2 1146 Error on install

I've tried to install many times - each time I install, I get the error 1146, and no kunena tables are created.

I also (based on a different thread about a different 1146 error) tried installing and activating the kunena plugin first, followed by either (i) the other files (component, library, etc), or (ii) the entire kunena package. Same trouble.

Each time I need to manually remove the kunena component and admin files in order to even use my administrator section again.

many times this a weird database error:

You can try this:

on phpmyadmin:

rename all prefixes on your tables to 'tm9pa' (without quotes)
and change the configuration.php file on the root of your dir.

change the public $dbprefix to public $dbprefix = 'tm9pa_';

Wow - I am scared to mess up my entire site by doing that...

I can do it for you, can skype me jelle810

Do I understand this right:
The table prefix is the problem?

I saw some old entries where it was explained that the prefix must be "jos_".
You now tell us that the prefix must be "tm9pa_".
Why is that, that one cannot use any prefix?

The prefix jos_ was used in Joomla! 1.5 but since Joomla! 2.5 the prefix is set randomly during Joomla! install. You need to look with phpmyadmin how your actual table prefix look like
