[2.2] Installer wizard appears when commenting on posts after upgrade
I have run the installer wizard, and I have ran all the Utility Update, DB Structure Upgrade
DB Update Counts. Debug set to true - my forum won't really work without debug now. I get 500 errors left and right, on signout, enterring dashboard.
This happens when I comment on posts in my forum after my 2.2 upgrade.
It's very serious. After backing up everything. I tried to run the wizard and fill in the details, and what it did was to trunctate all the tables in my database. I was hoping it would tick a box somewhere that the forum was indeed installed, but what this wizard does is brutal. I have backups and can roll back to 2.1.x, but I would like to try and just fix this since running on 2.1 now is not advisable as I've understood from posts here.

had you deleted .ini files from cache.
wild guess: perhaps you also need to remove the files from the Smarty/compile folder
what version of php do you use? are you by chance running 5.3? I moticed a bug with 5.3.
what os are you using.
edit: I see what you mean, its is as if it couldn't find config.php to know not to re-install
was it readable and was folder readable and writeable,
you could see if its plugin or application related by disabling them first then re-enabling one at a time.
the other thing is test with default theme,
and sometimes running things with debug on - make things even worse. regarding enabling plugins as well as posting.
best to turn off debugging on live site , unless you get a blank screen or fatal error, then display errors if necessary
verify your .htaccess is ok. that can create 500 errors as well.
a bit of a catch 22.
probably ok until the next 2.2 release patch.
you might want to try troubleshooting steps in FAQ and re-install - no plugins and default theme and go from there and slowly add things.

did you change or upgrade php just prior to your upgrade?
how would debug help it run, just curious.
