It is obvious, even in windows you have to set the configuration files atleast. It is the privilege of the user to install the stuff anywhere in his computer and so he has to change the .inf or .cnf accordingly
Why not you try onething called the embedded mysql. If you just want to go with your way, better make one more program in java to get the installation directory as input from the user and accordingly change the configuration files and put them in winnt/ or windows/ regards ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martijn van Iersel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2002 4:45 PM Subject: installing mysql together with application > Hello > > I want to distribute my java database application > together with mysql, and I want to make it as easy as > possible. > > Right now a new user has to: > - download and install mysql > - run the mysql server with mysqld --standalone or a > similar command > - download my program and run it. > > To make this easier for the user, I tried to zip mysql > together with my program (the whole c:\mysql directory > except the data directory), and to issue the mysqld > --standalone command each time the user starts my > program, but it doesn't work (it would be too easy, > wouldn't it?).
