Installation error 1064 when creating database

[tonyprodger]

When I am installing Zen Cart I get the following error after clicking on Save Database setup.

1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '-configuration' at line 2
in:
[select configuration_key as cfgkey, configuration_value as cfgvalue from zen-configuration]

I cant find the correct file to edit. (I don't know what it is called)

regards

1. What version of Zen Cart are you trying to install?

2. When you're doing the database-setup portion, DO NOT use a hyphen as part of the table-prefix. You used "zen-". A better choice would be "zen_" or none at all.

I was pretty sure we had addressed this issue in the v1.3.x series so that you are told that you've used an invalid character and given a chance to fix it before loading the database.

Many apologies for not replying sooner but I have only just got back from a trip away.

I have reinstalled and left the extension blank (though I thought that I had used zen_).

The installation worked well.

Many thanks for your help
