The xoops_session is a table (not to be confused with a session).

Sounds like an issue with either the user or webserver MySQL permissions with the new data you posted above. Make sure your webserver has permission to alter and create in your sql database. You may also want to verify that the user/pass for MySQL can actually create and alter... just log in under phpmyadmin (with the same credentials you are passing to the XOOPS installer) and create a table with an sql statement to check.

why don't you try changing either the name of your dB or the table prefix to make debuging things a little easier... you may also try without persistant connection.

As far as I know you should not use persistant connection.
Drop the databases you created before with phpmyadmin and run the install again.
Maybe another suggestion, give your database another prefix, not XOOPS but for instance : xae1d

I'm also having the same problem. i follow the suggestions by changing the prefix and creating the DB name from Myadmin and i still get the "Unable to make.." message

To reproduce:

Which Xampp version package is that exactly you are using?

mysql 4 or 5 / php 4 or 5 in use?
