Oddly enough, when I opened up the .sql file in notepad and copied and pasted the text into the "query to be executed" box, it ran fine... and installed all the new stuff.

Weird.

uploading the file from my local hard drive failed with the 1064 msg. Copying the SAME text from the .sql file into the box ran without error.

[scratching head...]

Whatever, now its working.
