Description:
Hi, Im a tech responsible for support of my companies software product. Our software ships
with sql. I have vista x64 installed. When i install my instance of msde it puts it in the
program files x86 folder. I understand that that is the folder for 32bit apps. The problem
i have is that i cannot configure the ports that my sql instances use. We normally use the
svrnetcn app to check what port numbers the instances are using. but when i go to that app
there are no instances listed there. also when i start the service manager it runs in my
sys tray. but when i maximise it there are no instances listed there. This is a problem
because i cant check if the sql instance are running or not. Also i cannot point my
program to the correct instance successfully as i dont know what port numbers they use. I
also have one more question.. Can i install sql to the program files folder? The problem
is that i dont have write access for the program files x86 folder.

Thank you, any help would be much appreciated.

We're sorry, but the bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking help on using MySQL products. Your problem is not the result of a bug.

Support on using our products is available both free in our forums at http://forums.mysql.com/ and for a reasonable fee direct from our skilled support engineers at http://www.mysql.com/support/

Thank you for your interest in MySQL.

The report does not contain any information about problems with MySQL installation which can caused by a bug in MySQL code. So I considered you just ask for help. If you are not agree and think problem is MySQL code and not your application and setup please read http://bugs.mysql.com/how-to-report.php first and then update description.
