This happens when MySql.Data is not registered in the GAC properly.  Can you check this?
[29 May 2007 16:17] Psy After
eeee, realy?
I don't know how I can check it.
May be this trouble of two past bugs?
tell me how to register it

thanks!

Hi. I was unable to repeat the reported behavior. It seems machine/config dependent.
 - MySQL server 5.0.44BK on WinXP Pro SP2 localhost
 - c/NET 5.1.2.1 on .NET fw 2.0, VS2005Pro SP1

Following your steps produced correct and expected result. Please consider reinstalling product.

tried uninstall/install about 3 times with different VS versions (Pro with sp1, Pro without sp1)
i have installed on VS2005:
- Microsoft ajax 1.0
- Webdeployment projects

I really don't know what to say, without repeatable test case we have nothing to fix... The only way for us to see the problem seems to be for you to ship entire machine to us.

I have the same issue (see bug 28931).  I've tried multiple versions of connector net without any success.  I'm planning on installing everything on another computer to see if works that way.

Psy, Seth, I don't mean to be disrespectful but we really can't do much until environment producing the error is replicated... Feel free to add as much info, you find related to this problem, as possible. Although closed, I'm monitoring this report.

I installed VS2005 Pro and MySQL .Net Connector 5.1 on my home computer and did not have the issue.  Obviously somethings up with my work computer.
[19 Jun 2007 17:54] Psy After
trouble not on our computers
trouble in connector setup
there is something that programers not took into consideration.
[19 Jun 2007 19:02] Tonci Grgin
Seth, thanks for feedback.

Psy, as I said, we can't fix behavior we can't reproduce (see).

I uninstalled VS2005 and MySQL .NET Connectors and reinstalled everything and now it works perfect.  Not sure what the problem was.

Just for future reference, when I reinstalled all software I chose the "Typical" options instead of "Complete".  It probably wouldn't of made a difference, but thought I would mention it.
[20 Jun 2007 6:40] Tonci Grgin
Seth, thanks again. I always choose "Complete".
[20 Jun 2007 8:04] Psy After
wow
it's realy work (install "typical")
as i said there is something that programers not took into consideration.
with typical install its work and custom(when i choose all options) not....
search the trouble in setup code
