I had the same error with the wp_options table.
I was able to manually create the table with the following command in mySQL.
CREATE TABLE wp_options ( option_id bigint(20) NOT NULL auto_increment, blog_id int(11) NOT NULL default '0', option_name varchar(64) NOT NULL default '', option_value longtext NOT NULL, autoload enum('yes','no') NOT NULL default 'yes', PRIMARY KEY (option_id,blog_id,option_name), KEY option_name (option_name) ) DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8;
Once i did that… i was able to complete the installation process.
I hope it works as well for you.
