First, make sure you purchase the necessary licenses and support contract.
Building your own installer is a piece of cake. We use InstallConstruct, but InstallShield, Wise, etc. will do just fine. Create the database(s) the way you want them, and include them in your installer package. Make sure you create a small app to create and write out the my.ini file ... ours is written in WinBatch, but there are many ways to accomplish this. In our case, the person doing the install runs the setup wizard, clicks through a few screens, and voila ... they're done.

So not with a remote SQL Server. I'm using VB.NET and Native MySQL support to connect to mysql servers, which works just fine. But I would like to distribute an application which runs only on the local machine and uses mySQL as a backstorage. (Instead of lets say an access database) What would be the best way to do this ? I don't want to have the user installing MySQL seperatly and then having to configure it and creating the database and stuff I just one 1 clean install with everything preconfigured and the server only running when the desktop application is running. Is there special support for this ? Please not that I can't use C/C++ code. Thnx. TP. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
