Hi,

I have spent alot of time trying to install the data connector silently, but it will not work unless done manually.

How to repeat:
MySql.Data.msi /passive
MySql.Data.msi /quiet
MySql.Data.msi /q

Suggested fix:
Correct the MSI issues

Hi Jared. Thanks for your problem report. I'm not familiar with the switches you used, did you try to install like described in http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/connector-net-installation.html?
[23 May 2006 23:04] Jared S 
The switches are standard switches that should work for any MSI file. 
Anyway, I have now found solution using gacutil.exe to register extracted file for client machine.  Though you would of had some documentation on deploying objects.

Problem is fixed.
