    Deploying VB+mysql

    I'm new to application deployment, and I've nearly finished developing an app for a client that uses a vb frontend to a mysql database.

    First of all im not sure if the GNU license of mysql means im allowed to distribute it in an installer alongside my app. Can anyone clarify this?

    Secondly if it is allowed is it possible to create an installer that will install my app, odbc driver and mysql at the same time

    And finally is it posible to pass parameters to the mysql install so that it installs with all the necesary config options silently, rather than querying the user during install?

    Thanks in advance!

    Mythrandil,

    Most updated installers can help you accomplish this task. I myself am privy to Inno Setup and it's Third Party Tools. It also has scripts that can help you install ODBC Drivers as well as all sorts of other things.

    A wealth of support follows this product...
