You have not followed install instrcutions carefully.

Readme says : Remove all chatbox files first (previous version), remove old products, and then do the fresh install.

Now two solutions to correct your mistake : either rebuild bitfields manually after having removed the old chatbox files from your directories (especially the one in the xml directory) or remove files and install product again.
