"Table already exists" error when reinstalling

[L3P3]

Having the same issue with MySQL 5.7.35 and Craft 3.7.30.1. Always have to delete the table by hand to install it.

Thanks! I'll have a look.

Thanks for quick reaction, hope for a release in near future so we don't have to rely on dev branch. :wink:

[ostark]

Thanks for the PR! However develop is completely not in sync with master. I'll do a proper release later today.
