Many thanks, Kailash!

I just posted my question on the IIS forum for the WPI. Meantime, I’m digging around elsewhere. I’m leery of the registry changes I see being recommended… ??

So you think it’s not the WordPress web platform installer (https://www.microsoft.com/web/gallery/wordpress.aspx) that attempts to find MySQL on the C drive?

I run the Web Platform Installer 3.0, enter application info, and hit install, then get the error, “The utility to get the database script could not be found at ‘C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin\mysqldump.exe’.”

So you’re suggesting I map the MySQL Server 5.1 folder to the D drive?

Thanks for your thoughts, esmi, but so far I’m not seeing the issue as a server problem. When I run the WP web installer, it tries to find MySQL on my C drive — but it’s on the D drive. I must presume that if it were on the C drive I’d be fine.

My PC is perfectly capable of running as a localhost server. So, no server problems. (Yet, anyway!)

I’ve got the WP files downloaded and extracted onto my D drive, and see an “install.sql” file there. I suspect if I could call that via MySQL, the install might start up… Any SQL gurus out there?
