Warning

JInstaller: :Install: Error SQL Table 'anglert3_anglersj4.dehpw_admintools_filescache' doesn't exist
Extension installation stopped.
Package Install: There was an error installing an extension: com_admintools-pro.zip
 
Admin tools was installed in J3! but I had to remove it to get things to migrate. Now the new J4 site is all done and everything works except I cant get admintools installed. It thinks there is a problem with database tables not existing. I tried to create the admintools_filescache table by copying the settings from the J3 database, but then it says another table was not found. Do I have to manually create every table?

You should have not uninstalled the previous version when upgrading. We have made it so you can upgrade from J3 to J4 keeping Admin Tools 6 installed, then you can update to Admin Tools 7 under Joomla! 4, automatically migrating your settings.

I believe that you tried to uninstall the component, not the package extension, which leaves behind information in the database, which prevent the installation of version 7.

First, try uninstalling the Admin Tools package extension.

Then go to System, Maintenance, Database. Make sure you do not see an Admin Tools entry there. Then, you can install version 8.

I was able to get it to install after exporting the admintools tables out of the J3 database and importing them into the J4 database.
