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!!!
