Re: MySQL Silent Install

[Jim Manico]

David, I'm exactly where you are at now - what is your solution?

My second ExecWait (with the --init-file) hangs forever (but the SQL executes)
I think --init-file actually runs the server - I wonder how you setup the service to run the sql at startup... ?

I did, so far (using NSIS):

Section "MySQL Installation" SEC00921
#!if ${MYSQL}

ExecWait 'msiexec /i "c:\archive\software\mysql\installer\5.0.27-win32\mysql-essential-5.0.27-win32.msi" /quiet INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0"'

#Delete these - necessary for cold install
Delete "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\data\ib_logfile0"
Delete "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\data\ib_logfile1"
Delete "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\data\ibdata1"

#ExecWait '"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\mysqld-nt.exe" --install MySQL --defaults-file="c:\config\my.ini"'
#ExecWait '"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\mysqld-nt.exe" --init-file="c:\config\mysql-init.txt"'
#ExecWait 'net start MySQL'

#!endif
