Mine is the mysql database install, not any admin stuff, that is a
different thing, you may indeed want or need both. Sorry I did not
fully notice your specific.
gui tools are at:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/5.0.html
The folder indeed contains two apps along with a widget.
In the DMG file is a folder that you should be able to copy and paste
into your Applications folder. Verify that you have the "MySQL Tools"
folder selected by the VoiceOver curser by using Control Option F3
F3. After that verification attempt to copy folder by Command C or by
contextual menu Control Option Shift M.
The widget can be moved into a folder named "Widgets" which can
reside in either the Library within your home directory or within the
root of the hard drive (You may need to create the folder).

The item in the side bar is mysql gui tools for 5.0 over here and
the package has no preference pane and no readme file in it. I
think you got a better package than what I managed to find.

I checked into this:
There are four potential downloads:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.0.html#macosx-dmg
Mac OS X 10.3 (PowerPC, 32-bit)
Mac OS X 10.4 (PowerPC, 32-bit)
Mac OS X 10.4, (PowerPC, 64-bit)
Mac OS X 10.4 (x86)
The DMG contains four items, a Read Me file, a Preference Pane,
and two packages: mysql - 5.0.45 and mysqlstartupitem.
I am able to touch all four items with VoiceOver and launch the
installers selecting and launching with a variety of methods.
In a finder window within the Sidebar do you have an item named:
mysql-5.0.45-osx, etc etc?

It's not happening. Command-option-shift-m has no effect.
command-o opens up the disk image file and selects the mysql
tools folder. Inside that folder are two applications and a
widget. Actually I think what I read on the web is complete
misinformation about mysql; the worst part of it is that
misinformation is in the mysql manual itself found on the mysqlab
home page for installing to a macintosh 10.3+ computer. I'm going
to do something I shouldn't. I'm leaving that package on my mac
and I'll take that to the next smmug meating and get together
with the club's data base expert and see what maybe both of us
can learn. If I can get this one installed I'll put the lock
pick up on the discuss list to help others who might have a use
for a data base on the mac get one installed and working.
