Thank you!!! This was it. Sure enough virtually all the tables were MyISAM. Converted them to InnoDB and the installation completed.
 
Just in case anyone else comes across this issue, here's what I did.
Logged into the MySQL instance (I was able to do this in phpMyAdmin). Switched to the database for the forum: use <Your_DB_Name_Here>; Check the engine being used on the tables: show table status; Since all of my tables showed an engine of myISAM, I obtained a list of all the table names with: show tables; From here those table names were put into a txt file, one table name per line, called "tables" and with the sed tool, I created alter statements for each table name: sed -i 's/\(.*\)/ALTER TABLE `\1` ENGINE=InnoDB\;/' tables; From here, the tables file would have a bunch of ALTER statements that were run. It took a minute but once it was done, I double checked with `show table status;` again to see that the engine was changed to InnoDB. Continued the installation process and things were successful! I'm sure there is probably a WAY more efficient SQL way to do all the above but I'm not a SQL wizard by any means. Hope this can help others though.

Of course, but that wasn’t the context. Individual JPGs, PDFs in an article are very different than 1 gigabyte video. I would hide the latter behind the Downloads app, which can prevent public download links. 
There are also not just bandwidth concerns. If someone hot-links some files from my article, at least I stay in control of that actual file and can remove it or change it again in the future. If I prevent linking, they might download the files and upload them to their own server, removing my control over the file entirely. That could be worse. There are many considerations … That’s why I asked so many questions. 
Caching images and other resources is actually part of the free plan as well.  

Right, I have decided to go ahead with this one, as the concept is now proven and I have started adding stuff in to the mix.
I will not be taking suggestions for features at this time - I have a design that I will be working towards, and new features will be added at my discretion.
Note: this one won't be cheap.

Thanks Nathan! 
Unfortunately, the built in announcements look nothing like the IPB announcements though (you need to click on it, no icons etc. really plain, etc): 

Hey Adriano, thank you for this wonderful app!
Is there any possibility of adding a "write in the correct answer" type? It would be great if the user could write in an answer and it would be checked against a variety of acceptable answers (possibly with the option of being case sensitive or not).
This would be great for math or trivia applications.

Different feedback for different quizzes? Not sure if it's been asked already way too many pages to search but is there an option or is it something that you can add if not? Thanks!

No you're on a wrong way to discuss about it like your comparison.
My approach is not to replace written content with spoken texts. The written text is still the most important in my forum.
Voice messages are only a useful addition to convey emotions, intonations, rhythm, etc. 
 

Just want to leave this request, please remember add voice ability to let us enhance and enrich our community communication... Today we don't have to limit us only as typing forum 

8 days later, only 28 members voted in the poll in this topic. The participation is not good for a number of active users in this community. Why? What do you think @Jordan Miller? Why is it so?
Is it because the poll feature itself is something the most admins do not use and therefore they do not participate? Or is it because this poll has not been seen/found by the most users in the community? What do you think?

Sometimes I'd like to allow guests to vote (perhaps using ip checking to prevent people voting multiple times). 
Sure, I understand that poll results wouldn't be as trustworthy, but sometimes the whole point of a poll is to encourage people to participate. Also, it is very frustrating for a guest to click on a poll topic only to be told "sorry, you can't read the results...". Yes, this might encourage some to register, but it'd be nice to have the choice of having the option to make polls where we let everyone vote or just registered members.

You shouldn‘t think about polls only in threads. We need polls in Pages, in articles, too.

1. Poll in user profile
Poll in user profile looks messy. There should be better template, compare to default vertical poll block from Block Manager.

2. Buttons in poll block
When using poll as block, we have three buttons that take more place than poll itself.

Can we have button split here? The same for vertical block.
3. Custom block vs. Block Manager
If I create a custom block for the poll without any changes to the template, I get another look.

Yes, I know that one can change HTML template. But if I create a block based on already existed block and do not change anything on the template, then I expect the block to look the same as the original. Probably it is relevant to the bug https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/463943-box-format-for-wysiwyg-editor-bug/#comment-2870283 here.  

One frequent complaint that I see is that every question is mandatory, which forces members to add a "not applicable" option when they have multiple questions. The poll title is a waste of time, given that there's already a topic title and poll question title I think it would be really neat if polls were attached to posts rather than to topics - that would force people to actually read the first post before answering the poll, and would allow for people to add polls in replies (and other places such as status updates) too

So, is there a fix for this? 

Fosters, any plans to upgrade this to 4.5?

In my experience, those expectations are reasonable but unrealistic. There are so many plugins and themes that were never updated that we could write a telephone book with the list...

How can they when it's the developer's product? It's up to the developer whether they update or not, or even continue with any kind of development. I know this is not what you want to hear, but that's the way it is.  If the developer decides to drop a product, paid or not, then that's the developer's choice not Invisons.  That's the price we pay, in more ways than one, when we become dependent on 3rd party apps 🙂
 

I too purchased this, and it was a great app. 
TheJackal: I think you should add a renewal scheme to this app, I'm sure most people who've purchased this app would approve. whenever a new version of ipb comes out, it's a "P.I.T.A" for customers to have to give up the app. We understand that renewing it takes time and work, so it makes sense to add the renewal option, so that there's some incentive for you too, so please consider it. 

Thanks Paul! 👍
It's a feature I used to use a while ago and had forgotten about it! 
Thanks Square Wheels! 👍

Yes, it does! thanks a lot! 👍
Cheers!

Amazing! what are the requirements? like, do you need the gallery or pages app for this to work?
