Hi,
I also have a similar problem.....
I have a Joomla 3.7.3 site (testing site)......
I installed the Ari Data Tables V1.16.2 using the normal Joomla install..... Message was that it installed OK, but I could not see any of the component under the Component menu (other components install OK)
I looked in the #_menu table using PHPMyAdmin, but cannot see any reference to Ari Data Tables.
I have cleared cache etc... all to no avail.
If I look at "Extensions---Manage" (backend), I see reference (1) to Ari Data Tables in there as in the attached image....
After reading this forum thread, I tried installing V1.16.1..... same success message, but still no access to Ari Data Tables...
This is a really pressing issue for me, as I want to install to a real site...
I then tried installing Ari Smart Content V2.2.38, thinking this may be needed.... still no luck (see reference (2) to Ari Smart Content in attached image)
Should I also send back end access to the site with the problem, via email?????
thanks,
Mike
