I am having this same problem.  Does anybody have any suggestions?

I can install any version up to 2.1.6 without error, but both 2.2.0 and 2.2.1 give me the same error. 

HELP!!!!

Cheers,
Mike

Thank you for your very prompt reply.  Sorry, I should have given more complete information in my post.

I am receiving the same error reported in the original message in this thread:

        * JInstaller::install: File 'JOOMLA_ROOT/administrator/components/com_installer/component/com_civicrm/install.civicrm.php' does not exist.
        * Component Install: Could not copy PHP install file.

The error is accurate, the file does not exist in the directory shown.  The actual path to the file is: 'JOOMLA_ROOT/administrator/components/com_installer/component/com_civicrm/admin/install.civicrm.php'

I am attempting the installation as described in the installation documentation.  I have copied the contents of the installation archive into the /tmp directory of the JOOMLA/ROOT.  I am installing from that directory.  The install script copies the files to JOOMLA_ROOT/administrator/components/com_installer/component/com_civicrm/.  The script then fails because it can't find the install.civicrm.php file.

Thank you for any ideas or suggestions you can offer.

Cheers,
Mike

Copying to the "com_civicrm" file worked for the install, but when attempting to upgrade the database, it generated the following error:

Thanks for your help.  I have only one database and verified that the 'civicrm_participant' table was present. 

Figuring that there might be other issues existing here, I opted to do a full restore to a clean database, then attempt the upgrade to 2.2.2 as you recommended.  Restore and everything went fine, except now when I attempt to access CiviCRM from either the live site or the admin area, I get an error message.  I posted this new issue here http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,7428.0.html given that it is probably unrelated to the initial error.  I did leave it in the 'upgrading' section, though maybe it should be under the 'installation' section.
