When going to use the installer, I choose "Install" click Continue and I get the error: "The programme appears to have already been installed."
I have done everything required (permissions, database connection is correct)..
any clue?

It seems like you've already installed it. Try opening the admin panel.
I'm giving you three guesses...

no tables have been set up in the database. I did NOT install this already, nor have i set up an admin user/pass to log in to the admin section. of course I can hit the admin since the directory is uploaded to my server...

Can you quickly check using phpMyAdmin that no tables are in the database?

there are other, non-related tables, of which all have prefixes, which is also the way i'm trying to set this up (using comments_ as the prefix).

I see. One of your other non-related tables must contain the word 'comments' as that's how Commentics checks whether it has already been installed. I'll look into implementing a more thorough check for the next version.
Please open comments/installer/install_1.php
Remove this section of code:
PHP Code:
<?php
if (mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("SHOW TABLES LIKE '%comments'"))) {
echo "<span class='fail'>";
echo "The programme appears to have already been installed.";
echo "</span>";
die();
}
?>
