Have you read the sticky? Have you cleared the "jos_menu" table from orphaned "uddeim" entries (its a bug in Joomla that it creates false entries sometimes)? Then install "_j16_english_only" package from a local folder.
It is not a uddeIM problem, so when above fails use a fresh installed Joomla 1.7 to install uddeIM 2.5beta.

So I did it one more time, and it appears for some reason it wasn't being executed right. Figured it out that it was the jos_ prefix and the tmp directory permissions where wacky.
strangest thing but thanks for your patience and BTW LOVE uddeIM
