Yes I did this myself also, and it worked. I was just about to post it here to tell everyone how to fix.
What I did was to manually delete (or Drop) the following 4 tables from the MySQL forum database:
award
award_cat
award_requests
award_user
(Note: BE careful when removing tables from your MySQL database! Only remove the 4 tables above and you do this at your OWN risk)
I removed the tables using the
phpMyAdmin feature from my websites cPanel to edit the database.
These 4 tables are what the mod uses. I found that when you uninstall the mod it doesn't automatically remove these from the database, and therefore it won't let you re-install it because the installation process tries to create/alter the tables again and it cannot "overwrite" this. Once these tables are removed however, the mod installation should run its course ok. (it did for me at least)
I Hope this helps the others who have the same/similar issues!
