I generally always use ODBC for getting Zope and MySQL to work on Windows,
it is much easier to install.

Just install the Zope ODBCDA, then install the MySQL ODBC connector, then
configure the two and it works every time.

=>   Hi all!
=>
=>   I want to have access to some MySQL databases from Zope, so I've tried
=> to install ZMySQLDa, but it's just been impossible!
=>   First I have tried to follow the instructions in
=> http://www.zope.org/Members/philh/mysql which are very easy, but some
=> files mentioned in the how-to aren't there, so I've had to get them from
=> somewhere else. After doing the installation, I got an error. Anyway,
=> the how-to is about ZMySQLDA 1.1.3, which I think is quite old.
=>   Then I've tried to follow the instructions in
=> http://www.zope.org/Members/alanpog/zmysqlda_steps , which are for Unix,
=> but anyway it says you have to install MySQLdb, which is not there. I
=> found it somewhere else in a windows binary distribution, but I couldn't
=> finish the installation.
=>   So, please, has anyone got some easy instructions to install ZMySQLDA
=> on Windows, and all the necessary files, and these in binary
=> distribution, without having to compile them? I'm desperate!
=>
=>   Thanks in advance,
