Description:
Once I installed MSQL by default I try to launch the application winmysqladmin.exe and a window appears saying LIBMYSQL.dll is missing, if you reinstall it should fix the problem. I tried that but the problem is still there. I think the installer didn't install the DLL in the windows folder...

Please help me, what did I do wrong???

best regards 

Nicolas

How to repeat:
The installer should copy the dll LIBMYSQL.dll in the windows system directory

I had the same problem.  Apparently the installer puts the libMySql.dll in the wrong folder.  If you navigate to: C:\mysql\lib the libMySql.dll file should be in there.  Right click on the file and "copy" it.  back out and return to the folder containing the mysqladmin.exe (c:\mysql\bin).  Right click in a blank space and "paste" the file into the "bin" folder.  Click on the mysqladmin.exe and you should be good to go.

I had done it like Shawn Berg and now winmysqladmin.exe works.

But there some other problems with this application. I can't see any process and only one db (test).

Sorry for my bad English!

hi Matthias,

You need to create an user with root privileges and to add in
the [winmysqladmin] section on my.ini file the keys: username
and password for to see the databases besides the test one.

copying the dll to the bin folder still did not allow winmysqladmin to start.  same error ... can't find the dll.

fixed with 4.0.20d InstallShield package now available on download site

Jerry,

Strange copying libmysql.dll in the same directory of the 
WinMySQLAdmin that error can't happens. I tested again and
worked as expected.

Hi Miguel,

the problem was that I had an empty password for this user. And this seems to work not correctly. With password everthing is fine. Ok it is not a good idea to without one. :) So it is not really a problem.

Thanks for help
