Description
Some hosts, like mine :-(, do not support Inno-DB. Even if it is just a little change in a configuration file they won't do it on a shared host.
Can we remove this requirement? Up to aC 0.6 or 0.7 RC the installer didn't check for this and my installations went without any problems. This will also help on some standalone XAMPP servers (like XJ! by creativecoders) which have buried their InnoDB somewhere but not in the "my" file.
Will this be solved in the next release? Or maybe there's already a patch? I had no problems hosting aC, but ProjectPier just won't install because of this InnoDB issue – and I really would like to use ProjectPier on my hosting account!
While I would like to see the InnoDB requirement gone, I am not sure if it will be ready for the next release. aC has/had the exact same requirements, so I'm not sure why you are unable to host ProjectPier. Please try posting in the forums for ways around this issue, also refer to the supplied links for existing work arounds that should also apply to ProjectPier.

I don't know if we should remove the InnoDB requirement but one thing we could do is having a variable in the installation files set to InnoDB and used in the mysql_sql_schema.sql. People could then change it easily at their own risk. See the third forum link to see what I mean.
What do you think?
