SMF Version: SMF 1.0.7
I was having a whale of a problem getting the converter to convert a phpbb board to SMF 1.0.7 this morning... in fact, I wasted most of my morning.   :P

The SMF install was done through Fantastico, and I could not get it to work. I solved the problem by uploading all the new install SMF files to the server and running install.php and installed it.

Next, I ran the conversion script and it went without a hitch.   ;D

SO... I learned today, if you don't have to do a conversion, using Fantastico is fine.  If you need to convert from phpbb, do a manual install.

Hope this saves someone a couple of hours of work.   ;)
