missing LIBMYSQL.dll ... can anyone help?

Post by deac0nfr0st »

Hey guys ... I have installed, uninstalled, and then reinstalled two PHP packages (SWAMP and now EasyPHP) so now when i boot my computer, i get this error message:
00095146.EXE Unable to Locate Component......... application has failed to start because of missing LIBMYSQL.dll... :?:


I did a search on the executable and was able to find 00095146.exe-[somenumbers].pf within the windows directory. I moved that file (thinking that it would fix the problem by not looking for the missing .dll) but that of course didn't work. So I did a search on the dll and the exe in the registry and found both (as separate entries) within some ACMru key. I decided to leave the registry entries alone until I'm sure on how to fix this problem. So... any suggestions.... anyone?

Seems more like a question for the makes of the programs you are having problems with.

Agree with Jason that it is more a question that should be directed to the makers of the install programs.

libmysql.dll should be in your mysql/bin directory. The only thing I can think of that may be causing an issue is that if your mysql directory is not in the default location i.e. C:/mysql then you may have to place a my.ini file in your system directory. Having no knowledge of how either of these install apps work I can't really be of any further help.

I would check your system directory for a my.ini file, you could also try adding the mysql/bin directory to your PATH variable.

The ini file did contain a pointer to the service that remained after I uninstalled SWAMP which is an issue that other people have experienced http://swamp.sourceforge.net/viewtopic.php?t=34 . I removed the ini file from the system directory (C:\WINDOWS) and deleted the swamp directory as well, rebooted and seemed to have solved my problem.
