G2B3, user forgot to clean g2data. additionally, there were missing/modified files.
Modules were not correctly installed. Solved by increasing the PHP memory_limit
I also had the same issue. I agree this should be more than a "warning" during installation. However, I think the issue isn't an installation issue; it's just that installed modules are not displayed if the memory limit is 8MB.
The issue doesn't require a re-install, as the above link suggests.
Just increase the memory_limit in your php.ini file, and restart Apache.

When using mysql 4.1.10 and choosing a non-english language in the installer, you'll probably run into a database error, e.g.

yard has found out that this is a mysql bug which is fixed in MySQL 4.1.13. MySQL Bugs: #10904, http://lists.mysql.com/internals/27958, G2 forum topic.

Turn off McAfee antivirus if its running during installation on windows. You have a good chance not to receive the above errors and complete the installation.
