Re: MySQL Server 5.0.51a Installation guide for Windows Vista (fix with Visual Studio)

Thanks! Like others, I found out that disabling UAC is not necessary. I have Visual Studio 2005 and was able to fix it with that tool -- it's good if you don't want to download and install another program. VS2008 will probably also work, but be sure you're running as admin.

To use Visual Studio to fix this on Vista:

1) Make sure that MySQLInstanceConfig.exe is not running.

2) Start Visual Studio in elevated mode (i.e. run as admin, which is required for Visual Studio 2005 anyway).

3) Perform a File->Open on

"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\MySQLInstanceConfig.exe"

(adjust path as required)

4) Expand RT_MANIFEST by clicking on the + symbol

5) Find

l="asAdministrat
or" uiAccess="fa

about 3/4 of the way down the right-most column

6) Replace 'as' with 'require': click before the 'a', delete twice, then press 'insert' and type 'require' in lower case letters. The two lines should now read

l="requireAdmini
strator" uiAcces

7) Press Ctrl+S to save the manifest back into the executable file.

That's it!
