[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1269652, member: 141969"] Two days ago I did a first-time install of MP 1.24F on a fresh install of 64-bit Windows 7 (i.e. no MP, TV Server, or MySQL previously installed on it). It all proceeded without problem (y). I did not get any windows appearing relating to MySQL. The only windows that appeared came from the Windows Firewall asking me if I wanted to allow access (action: make sure the correct box is ticked and click "Yes"). Your symptoms are reminiscent of a problem that I encountered when performing an update install (i.e. not a first-time install). Older versions of MP used MySQL 5.1, but more-recent versions use MySQL 5.6. If the MP installer detects MySQL 5.1, it will offer to update it for you, but this never works -- you get the pop-up that you encountered. I tried different combinations of actions, but I never could get it to work, so in the end I gave up. If this is your problem, the MP installer will display a panel with an option to update MySQL already selected. You need to [b]deselect[/b] this option, so that MySQL will stay at the 5.1 level. Doing this, I found that the installer would then complete successfully, and MP still works OK. MySQL 5.6 with new databases is more robust than MySQL 5.1 with old databases. "More robust" means that there is less probability that the databases will become corrupt. The "old" and "new" refer to the way that the database is organised internally. If you want to update to MySQL 5.6, you will need to reformat your C: drive and re-install Windows. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
