Hi :)
There is not one for Windows yet. It would need to be built. The ones for Mac and
Gnu&LInux are here
http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/mysql-native-connector-for-mac-osx
No-one with Windows has built and uploaded their one yet. I think there are instructions on how to compile it from Source but i gather you have to compile the whole of the LibreOffice from Source at the same time. I odn't know where to begin with that sort of thing and the only Windows i have access to is at work where i don't really have time to do things like this (even if i knew how to which i don't).

Open Office has the following MySQL extension page. I linked to it from
MySQL.com
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/mysql_connector it has
several including Windows. It probably will work since LO and OOo share
much in common and MySQL is MySQL
If that does not work you might try the ODBC driver from MySQL at

I hope MySQL isn't OT. I am trying to set up a MySQL database with LibreOffice
Base as a front-end. I have installed MySQL in Windows XP and I can create
tables and so forth and the next thing is to connect to MySQL. I have
downloaded the MySQL ODBC Connector but when I try to run it I get a
window for about 1ms and then it vanishes. Has anyone succeded in installing
this?

LO has an extension: "MySQL Native Connector". From what I have
read on this list, this extension works better than using an ODBC or
JDBC. You might want to download and install it instead.
