What am I doing wrong with this mod,

Installed clean install 1.38a

copied and pasted install_admin_profiles.sql into the SQL Query Executor and send.

Copied the admin dir over the original admin dir on the server and also did this with the extras - patched files for ZC1.3.8a DIR.

Result: nothing changed in the admin setting page.
Result this morning: a blank admin settings page.

If somebody can give me directions I would be very glad.

After i have this working I also want to install easypopulate and dual_pricing_1.3.2.
is this posssible??

Thanx, Andre
