Re: silent install

[dig]

Sure, this is how I did it.


I used Wise Installation to install my stuff then copy the files in order to install MySQL. I copied mysql.msi, sql files and my.ini. My.ini will have the information to set the MySQL parameters like port, installation path, service name and etc. Use Wise Installation or something that will update the ini file for server path if you are not using the default path. This steps is for installing on the local machine.

To install MySQL in silent mode use “mysql.msi /passive” and I set the Wise Installation to wait for this is finish installing.

Now you will need to install the service and start it.
Execute mysqld.exe --install MySQL41 --defaults-file="C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 4.1\my.ini".
Wise Installation has a start service command so I used that to start it.


Now you can run your sql statements to build the tables and add users things like that.
I used batch files to execute the sql statements.

Batch file called go.bat has these lines

cd c:\program files\mysql\mysql server 4.1\bin
mysql.exe -P 15027 < user.sql
mysql.exe -P 15027 < nkwdata.sql

This should help you get started. If you have any question then please ask away.
