Architecture / Installation

Maybe the 1.8.2 installation went through partially and changed your database (i think it changes it enough that you can't simply dump your tiki 1.7 database back in). I would delete the database, re-install tiki 1.7.x and then put my database dump from my former 1.7 installation back in the database that was setup by the new install. But maybe someone else has a more elegant solution.
