Minifreunde,
I know I have made a couple mistakes already but I can still help if you want? :disappointed:
I have taken out the parts of the install.php that didn't work. I believe she would have run the install.php script in your viPortfolio/ directory. While walking thru the install , on the third screen, it will ask you if you want to uninstall. There will be red box with a button that says "UNINSTALL viPortfolio Application". Click on that button and the next screen will show you a list of things that are being deleted. Go to the next screen and everything is gone. Now rerun the install.php script and again and go thru the steps to install.
You also have choice B

If you rerun the install_icons.sql file this will update your mime table and you will see icons in your portfolio.
Version 1.0.7 is the latest and greatest. I have updated the first post in this thread with the new version if you still need to download it.
