I badly need this patch and tried to run: mysql_config_win32.pl ...it has failed every time stating: 'C:\PROGRA~1\MySQL\MySQL' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Problem running C:\PROGRA~1\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin \mysqladmin.exe - aborting ... ...I went into the script and found that the variable: $mysqladmin was correctly getting the path in $mysqladmin @line 55, or thereabouts, of the script, however the next line: my $v = qx($mysqladmin version); results in no value in $v which then exits on the following "unless ($v) { etc, etc.... I attempted to run "mysqladmin version" at the command prompt which resulted in an error: "mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO)' ...assuming this might be why $v gets no value, I spent hours trying to figure this out and did many things to my MySQL. I can get it to work issuing this command: mysqladmin -u root -p1588 version (1588 is just a dummy password value I put in...) ...first, I may be barking up the wrong tree here! ...second, if I am not, how do I feed the correct string to this portion of the script? Any help would be very much appreciated, it took me a long time to find this thread and answers to installing DBI and DBD:mysql on my Windows Vista machine with Perl 5.10 and the latest MySQL. I badly need wisdom and thank anyone who thinks they can explain this in advance! Best Pyrrhic
