Re: Windows cannot start MySQL Proxy service

[Mark Leith]

You need to make sure you have the Microsoft Visual C++ runtime libraries installed on MySQL Proxy 0.8.2+ now:

"Note to Windows Users

The Microsoft Visual C++ runtime libraries are now a requirement for running MySQL Proxy. Users that do not have these libraries must download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package MFC Security Update. For the current Proxy version, use the following link to obtain the package:
