I _think_ that this might be a result of your mysql version.

Load the sql via the mysql console like so,

  mysql> source ./ext_tables.sql;

( get here: TYPO_DIR/typo3conf/ext/th_mailformplus/ext_tables.sql )


The failed install attempt may have CREATE'd the first table in the sql 
file successfully, so you may want to check for this, possibly dropping 
the table or commenting out that portion of the sql file, to enjoy a 
smooth,and error free result,


cheers,
