I'm having a rough time installing and/or uninstalling this module. I cleared out my DB or any reference to "content_approval" however I still cannot install either 7x1.1 or the dev. I forgot to record the error, but it said something about a field already existing in "information_schema." (sorry). As far as i know the only way to clear out the "information_schema" is to completely remove my site DB and the re-import the DB. Am I missing something?

Got it removed. This is what I had to do. In the DB, Drop all references to content_approval (via Search > delete). Then export the DB, and then import. This will ensure that "information_schema" hasn't retained any references to content_approval. This didn't work at first because when I did the import and then look at information_schema content_approval was still there. Oddly I was able to find that there were two tables (in the DB) that doesn't show up in my initial search of "content_approval." "field_data_field_content_approval" and "field_field_content_approval." I don't understand why my search of the DB didn't find these two.

My DB and information_schema are now clean. Once I apply https://drupal.org/files/issues/add_content_approval_on_existing_node-2058181-3.patch I will try a fresh install of the dev.

(maybe the DB search function only searches within tables? i dont know. i cant understand why a search doesn't hit it)

Got the Dev and patch installed and all seems to be working perfectly!

I created this thread more for information for others if they have the same issues. It can be closed.
