I\'ve fix

Answer 1

Line 59 of the file app/code/core/Mage/Install/Model/Installer/Db/Mysql4.php

Replace:

public function supportEngine()
 {
    $variables  = $this->_getConnection()
        ->fetchPairs('SHOW VARIABLES');
    return (!isset($variables['have_innodb']) || $variables['have_innodb'] != 'YES') ? false : true;
}    

with this:

public function supportEngine()
{
 /*   
     $variables  = $this->_getConnection()
        ->fetchPairs('SHOW ENGINES');
     return (!isset($variables['have_innodb']) || $variables['have_innodb'] != 'YES') ? false : true; 
*/
    return 1;
}
