The dreaded MySQL again!
Hi folks,
I am new to NSIS having used it sucessfully only last week. I have also read the many messages posted here about MySQL and about reading/writing .ini files.
1.. When MySQL installs it does not create the .ini file in the Windows directory. I can see form teh docs how to read and write an ini file, but how do I create it from NSIS in the first place?
2.. Would it be best if I had an empty .ini file in my distribution and then modified it with NSIS?
3.. I can't control where the user installs MySQL, so how do I find where it is? If I use 'IfFileExists' to find mysql.exe does this cover all drives on the machine?
4.. How do I detect if the machine I am installing on is Windows 98? As there is no 'service' capability on Win98 I will have to figure out how to set ..\mysqld.exe as a start-up option so the server is available.
My apologies for so many questions in one go! I hope someone has a few moments to help me :)
