Status:	Not a Bug	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MaxDB	Severity:	S1 (Critical)
Version:	7.5.00.26	OS:	Windows (Windows XP SP2)
Assigned to:	Ulf Wendel	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
It's a VERY simple bug :

the GUI exe isn't in the maxdb-all-win-32bit-i386-7_5_00_26.zip archive !!!
no way to found any dbmgui*.exe program in all this supposed 'full' windows version of MaxDB !

the file-names are :

maxdb-all-win-32bit-i386-7_5_00_26.zip (download 23/05/2005 on your web site)
dbmgui<n>.exe (file needed for the GUI ! but not included in the *.zip file)

How to repeat:
unzip the maxdb-all-win-32bit-i386-7_5_00_26.zip
install the soft
search the file dbmgui*.exe ... you won't find it !

Suggested fix:
to include the dbmgui*.exe file in the archive !

I was unable for to find them also. However I have doubts what
actually means the below note in the download page:

Because the naming of the log backup version files has changed, you must use DBMGUI version 7.5.00.18 or higher for this server version.

7.5.00.26 is higher version!

I'm afraid, things get mixed up here. The maxdb-all-* is a MaxDB Server download package. MaxDB Server downloads prior to 7.6 do not include the DBM GUI. Let me cite our download page (http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/maxdb/7.5.00.html):

"Server downloads

The standard installation includes the following MaxDB software components:
Base, Database Kernel, DB Analyzer, JDBC, Load, ODBC, Perl Interfaces (except DBD::MaxDB, which can be downloaded from CPAN), Python Interfaces, Server Utilities (tools for administering the database kernel like Database Manager CLI), SQL Database Connectivity (C++ interface), XML Indexing Engine, and Web Tools.",

As you can see the Server download includes the Database Manager CLI and it also includes the dbmcli command line, but it does not include the Database Manager GUI. Note the last sentence in the following citation from http://dev.mysql.com/doc/maxdb/dbm.html :

"The software for Database Manager CLI and Web DBM can be downloaded as part of the MaxDB Software standard package for the relevant platform or as separate client software packages."

So, you did not find a bug. The dbmgui.exe file is not expected to be in any of the maxdb-all-* server download packages.

You may download the client package from our client page here:

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/maxdb/clients_75.html

Please note that since release 7.6, the dbmgui.exe application has been included with the distribution.

Best regards,
Ulf

You're right !

I've mixed up version 7.5 and 7.6 ! 
So the dbmgui.exe application I've expected to found in V 7.5 is only include in V 7.6+

Sorry for my stupid 'not-bug' repport.

Best regards

I'm having the same problem, but I downloaded the file:

maxdb-all-win-32bit-i386-7_5_00_26.zip, from here:

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/maxdb/7.6.00.html

And it clearly says it's the version 7.6,

"Microsoft Windows (x86)	Standard	7.6.00.10	145.6M	Pick a mirror
MD5: 072ac2ea4954e732c6f5c21d6fb17c1"

so as stated here:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/maxdb/instupgrade.html

"A production release of MaxDB Installation Manager will become available in the course of version 7.6."

This download SHOULD come with the Installation Manager, right?
But it doesn't! I believe it's a mistake on the download page, download link SHOULD link to the file with the version 7.6, not the 7.5.
