Joomla! version: 2.5.4
PHP version: 5.3.10
MySQL version: 5.0.95-community-log
Akeeba Backup version: 3.4.3

Description of my issue:
Update Installation failure with version 3.5.a1

Fatal error: Class 'AEPlatform' not found in .../administrator/components/com_akeeba/liveupdate/config.php on line 25

Error log reveals the following

PHP Fatal error: Class 'AEPlatform' not found in .../administrator/components/com_akeeba/liveupdate/config.php on line 25
PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function select() on a non-object in .../administrator/components/com_akeeba/akeeba/utils/comconfig.php on line 23, referer: .../administrator/index.php?option=com_akeeba&view=liveupdate

Reinstalled 3.4.3 tried with debug turned on
500 - An error has occurred.
JDatabaseMySQLi::query: 1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ' `published` = '1' WHERE `module` = 'mod_akadmin'' at line 3 SQL=UPDATE `wqdb_modules` SET `position = 'icon'` , `published` = '1' WHERE `module` = 'mod_akadmin'

Attempted the MySQL error 1062 Fix for J2.5.4+
PHPMyAdmin gives this error
#1146 - Table '(database_name).#__menu' doesn't exist
(Note: this database is from a J1.5 migration to J2.5 using jUpgrade, the J1.5 tables still exist in the database with a different prefix from the j2.5 tables)

Attempted to force the MySQL fix by specifying the table prefix specific to the J2.5 table.
changed #__menu to (MyPrefix)_menu
MySQL error
#1062 - Duplicate entry '1-1-Joomla! Update-*' for key 2

When installing Akeeba Backup the debug mode should be turned OFF. While installing, we are testing if the tables are properly upgraded. This will lead to errors deliberately thrown from the database driver. When the debug mode is off we can catch those errors and process them. When the debug mode is on, the installation fails.

That said, you should not re-install Akeeba Backup 3.4.3. You should re-install Akeeba Backup 3.5.a1. The problem you had seems like a partial installation issue.

Downloaded and installed 3.5.a2 Installation worked this time with no errors.

The only problem I can see is the "you have the latest version" Icon link, When I click on it I get "403 - An error has occurred. You are not authorised to view this resource." user has Super Admin privileges. http://localhost/jupgrade/administrator/index.php?option=com_akeeba&view=liveupdate

OK, that confirms the cause of the problem, it's the partial installation due to a known issue with Joomla!'s extensions installer.

Regarding the live update, please ignore that. It will be fixed with the next release.

Thank you for your feedback!
