Your error is "Hibernate Dialect" must be explicitly set

I'm not sure what is wrong, my 3.3 build "auto detects" correctly, however I've seen this before and worked around it by setting hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLInnoDBDialect in my alfresco-global.properties.

Thanks. I changed the "hibernate" property in the global properties file, but it did not fix the problem.

I finally solved the issue the following way:
- From the windows configuration panel, I removed "Java Release 19 update", "Java DB" and the "Java SDK" programs to leave only the "Java Runtime 6".
- I erased the entire "Alfresco" directory from the previous installation.
- I ran the full setup again and it worked.

May I suggest that the installation process be improved to handle properly the presence of these softwares.
