This was fixed in the SVN. Either grab the code from the SVN, or replace your file at InstallationValidator/Program.cs.

Make sure your MySQL server version is 5.1 . If this isn't the problem try completing a full install of MySQL 5.1 found at this link >> http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.1.html#win32

There are 10 types of people in this world - Those who understand Binary and those who don't.

My MySQL server version is 5.1, and did a full install!

If I remember correctly, the validator will first scan automatically, then if it can't find it, it will ask you to enter where it is located. Did you enter the correct path when it asked for the location?

Thanks Spodi, it indeed asks it! But it did not cross my mind to enter it in the application.

Did you enter anything at all? Or did you just quickly give up?

If you entered something but it was the wrong thing, what did you enter? (so I know how to make it less sensitive to the input style)
If you didn't enter anything, what went through your mind when it failed and how can I make it more obvious what needs to be done? (so I can make it more obvious in the future)

Was thinking about the solution just when I typed the path.
I would add "Path: _" to the console output so that it is more obvious for the user.

I am addicted to finding out how netGore works, gotta love being a programmer, no sleep for me.
