Write and execute a vb script instead. I don't think you can accomplish what you're trying to do in a batch file. Cheers.

Hi,

We will be dstributing mySql with our product. I was wondering if the following setup is the correct way to do it... If you have any questions or problems you can see coming up with the following installation, please let me know...

1.) User installs MySql on server. 2.) User then runs setup file for my software package, the software package copies a custom my.ini file to \WINDOWS FOLDER on server 3.) Installation stops mySql, installation starts MySql again to read new values from setup file.

Question :

How can I run a .bat file or seomthing that will automatically change the root password, and create neccessary users in the MySql database?

Thanks Greg
