Errors in running migrations

edit

Hello, I am trying to install/running askbot in my local machine(apache + mysql + windows7). In the procedure of migrations, I met the following errors. How to fix this. Thanks in advance.

 > askbot:0020_auto__add_field_repute_comment__chg_field_repute_question
 ! Error found during real run of migration! Aborting.

 ! Since you have a database that does not support running
 ! schema-altering statements in transactions, we have had
 ! to leave it in an interim state between migrations.

! You *might* be able to recover with:   = ALTER TABLE `repute` DROP COLUMN `com
ment` CASCADE; []

 ! The South developers regret this has happened, and would
 ! like to gently persuade you to consider a slightly
 ! easier-to-deal-with DBMS.
 ! NOTE: The error which caused the migration to fail is further up.
