 Severity:  blocker  |    Keywords:  install database error 2.6.1 2.6.2 table doesn't exist
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 The install fails with a database error when run on a new (empty)
 database.

 == Steps to reproduce ==

 1. Create new (empty) database

 2. Clean copy of WordPress 2.6.1 or 2.6.2

 3. Create wp-config.php (through wizard, or manually)

 4. From /wp-admin/setup-config.php?step=2 click 'Run the install' or
 navigate to /wp-admin/install.php

 == Result ==

 2.6.1
 {{{
 WordPress database error Table 'wpmu.wp_options' doesn't exist for query
 INSERT
 INTO wp_options (option_name, option_value, autoload) VALUES ('cron',
 'a:2:{i:...2;}', 'yes') made by add_option

 WordPress database error Table 'wpmu.wp_options' doesn't exist for query
 INSERT
 INTO wp_options (option_name, option_value, autoload) VALUES ('auth_salt',
 'Ko!oT4Gk#)5t', 'yes') made by add_option
 }}}

 2.6.2
