MySQL application & development LIBS

Hello

I have a small Windows application linked to the MySQL development libraries
and have to run in on another computer, do I have to copy the DLL/LIB files
or are they already static linked to the application? The other computer has
no MySQL installed, and the application will run only as client to access my
web server to perform some simple tasks.

I have the Win32 binary .ZIP (not compiled)... so it has the already built
libraries as they came in the package...


And a second question... currently I have MySQL 6.0 on my laptop, since it
is deprecated, how can I uninstall version 6 and then install latest 5.x?
Some day in the past I tried simply to uninstall and reinstall another
version, but the previous files didn't get removed and was unable to make it
work again since the new installation failed due the older remaining
files... what is the correct way to completely remove MySQL to install a
different and clean version? Note that in the past when I tried the new
installation it aborted, or it succeeded but never could install it as
service again and had to reinstall the wole system to make a brand new
installation...


Thanks for your help!!!

Hi Miguel Cardenas! For you second question I can describe my experian=
ce, If your OS is windows vista, this may be applied. I too had instal=
led the MYSQL 5.X at my system, for making master-slave setup, i happened t=
o uninstall the current setup. I tried the same version immediately, it was=
not successful. I tried deleting the folders related to MYSQL, all registr=
y values. Even it was not sucessful[installation is done but the service st=
art up was failure]. Then I found myself, I seared the MYSQL term wher=
e ever it is presented. I found there is another place where the MYSQL data=
folder has kept. C:\ProgramData\MYSQL - this i have removed after ano=
ther uninstallation. Then I tried once again the service has started succes=
sfully. Thank you I hope it ll help you VIKRAM A =
