Trying to install SQL patch from installation files but getting this error message:

1146 Table 'xxxxxx.configuration_group' doesn't exist
in:
[SELECT @gid := configuration_group_id FROM configuration_group where configuration_group_title LIKE 'Tabbed Products Config';]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

the xxxxx being my database name.

Any guidance available? detailed instructions appreciated I'm a challenged user

Thanks
