The installer predates FarCry 1.0 -- it's a bit nasty in there.  We're
making efforts to change the whole process for 4.0. Not least by moving the
installer to the project template.. more on all that later in the month.

That said you can tinker about in there trying to make things right:
../farcry_core/admin/install/*

Missing columns might be due to not having run an updater:
../farcry_core/admin/updates/*

The purpose of the updater being to provide an easy way to migrate between
versions of FarCry -- you shouldn't have to run the updater after a fresh
install -- but the 3.0/3.01 installer was a bit buggy in that regard and
needed the updates.

Not much help I know - but it might put you on the right path.
