Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Has anyone every written a script to install a MySQL ODBC Driver for windows, more specifically version 3.51?

I've done some research but it seems as simple as adding a couple of reg entries, and copying the appropriate dll's to the system directory.

Is it this straight forward or am I missing something?

Thanks!

    "What are you trying to accomplish?" is my frist question. The MySQL ODBC driver for windows uses install shield (or the likes) to my last memory.

    Play that funky music white boy..

      Correct, but I'm writing a Perl script to avoid using the installshield
