Are you installing the latest version? The error below relates to a really, really old version of eFiction that should NOT be used.

Please obtain the latest version (3.5.5, as of 9 March 2016) from the home page and try again?

Received a PM over this issue, now it's either an old version like banshee pointed out, or it looks like the installation files were dropped into an SQL tool like phpMyAdmin straight away.
