I have been using InstallShield 10.5 to create installer for my VFP (Visual Foxpro) for years with no problem.
recently I have switched to MySQL database.
how can I include MySQL server and ODBC to the installer?
thank you the help.

For the MySQL aspect, you'll probably just have to include the redistributable setup files as a part of your project and then run it as a part of your installation routine via the LaunchAppAndWait function.

For the ODBC aspect, you're best off just including one of the Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) merge modules under the Objects listing.

Thanks for the reply.

do I need the script to do that?

I'm using:
MySQL 5.1
MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver

Best Regards,

Oh, I thought you were referring to the underlying ODBC support in Windows.

In that case, you'd want to run both of those MySQL installers from the OnFirstUIAfter portion of your IS project.
