Hello,
You would need to be using your server's quick install at all during the installation. A site shaper is a complete installation of Joomla with our demo data pre-installed. It must be installed into a blank database and empty folder. It cannot be incorporated into an existing Joomla installation. Please be sure you are following the site shaper tutorial here:
http://www.shape5.com/joomla_tutorials.htmlThe site shaper is simply using the default Joomla install files, the only thing different is that our modules files, images and sql data import file are included. The rest is exactly the same as a default Joomla install and would install the same way.
