Additional Steps

After you installed MySQL you will need to install the ODBC drivers on all machines which are running EventSentry and need to write any type of information to the MySQL database. We also recommend that you download and install the MySQL Administrator and MySQL Query Browser.

Installation of the MySQL ODBC Drivers

In order to setup the MySQL tables later, you will need to download and install the MySQL ODBC drivers. You can download the latest ODBC drivers for Windows from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/3.51.html. Simply run the setup application and install the ODBC drivers once you downloaded the file.

Please see Rolling out the MYSQL ODBC Driver for information on how to automatically install the MySQL ODBC driver on multiple machines in an ActiveDirectory environment.

Installation of the MySQL Administrator and Query Browser

Simply execute .msi files and follow the instructions on the screen. These applications uses little disk space and a restart is not required after the installation. Once installed you can launch the applications by double-clicking their respective icons on the desktop.

You can download both utilities from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/query-browser/index.html.
