 maybe_create_table. When I include either upgrade.php or install-
 helper.php THESE file call on wp-config'php using a relational path. As
 the original file executing is coming from the plugin folder (my script)
 the wp-config.php file is reported as not found.

 this issue. If you can suggest another way for me to access
 maybe_create_table I'll be more than happy but I only 'require_once' one
 of the two files above as maybe_create_table is not defined (I check is
 with an if (exists()) statement).

 So your plugin file is being called directly rather than in a WordPress
 page load?

 The attached patch can't work if you haven't already got ABSPATH defined
 and that is __normally__ defined in wp-config.php - ideally we should say
 that including install-helper.php requires you to have already pulled in
 wp-config.php and then we could remove the require_once at the top and
 resolve this issue that way.
