    I was using newest version of version,
    this actually used to work with the old version.
    Whatever database name I name my site, e.g. database name: wordpress_sitename1, wordpress_sitename2 and paste freshly downloaded wordpress from your repo and edit the folder name to match my database name created, e.g. wordpress_sitename1 or wordpress_sitename2 (database name: wordpress_sitename1, wordpress folder name instead of plain wordpress: wordpress_sitename1), the installation went smoothly.
    I had 6 successful installs with the same setup before with 6 different websites.

    Now, it just asks for repairs. And I can’t log in.

    I use XAMPP just to develop the site.

    Thanks for any reply!

    I think it unlikely that the WordPress version is relevant in this problem, it is the mySQL that operates upon the database and is generating these errors. There are historical WordPress versions available from here:
    https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Current_events
    by all means download and install your prior version and try it.

    Have you upgraded you XAMPP package ?

    What does your phpmyadmin database browser have to say ?
    What happens when you restore a backup of your database ?
