I did the uninstall option, deleted all the files, and deleted the configuration items left behind by a different version, and reinstalled the current cersion. same result.

version installed is: Easy Populate 4.0.36.ZC - 07-05-2016

Any ideas?
Very curious indeed.

Did you happen to try logging out and then back in after trying the install?

What's really odd here is a few things:
1) multiple configuration_key columns have been uploaded (which must all be unique otherwise would error out and not get imported)
2) with each unique id the same "settings" are applied.
3) the database install uses an insert command not a select so caching (ZC cache anyways) should not be a factor for a default store.
4) if there was a previous version of EP4 installed, the queries are written such that they attempt to insert, if unsuccessful then they move to the next query all except one which updates itself if there is a "problem". And that query doesn't even provide a result in a "normal" configuration area.

Would you mind trying something for me?

In the includes/function/extra_functions/easy_populate_4_functions.php file, there is a section related to install. In that install section is a series of: $db->Execute( statements

At the end of each one, could you replace:
Code:
);
with:
Code:
, false, false, 0, true);
Could you also identify more about your system's setup (posting tips information for starters)? What program/version was previously installed?

That's very interesting because in my testing I didn't come across a situation like that.

And try that?
