[Zope-DB] Re:MySQL problems

[working4aliving]

I'm not sure if this got posted yet... I looked in sent items, but here we
go again.

I would kill the w2k windows "~" directories by uninstalling and then
installing in something simple.
(C:\zope)
Don't install python, it'll get installed automatically w/ zope.
Install mysql-3.23.51-win.zip (from mysql.org) if  you want a local mysql
server. (probably?)
install Mysql-python-0.9.1.win32.py2.1.exe
then install that exe that I had posted before.
Give it a try.  Good luck, keep the faith.. it'll be worth it.
