I've just done it today.

Do a search for MySQL and install the win32 version.

Then you need the MySQL for Python. That's the tricky one, it doesn't
install unless you tweak the registry beforehand (there's a message in the
forum on the sourceforge site that reveals the specifics).

Then the ZMySQLDA.

It's all really just a matter of searching, installing, searching,
installing, searching, installing, etc.

NB I'm a newbie so don't take this as authoritative. But, I've got MySQL
running as a service on one machine, and the ability to connect to it from
another Win2K machine. I've got MyODBC talking to it, but I've not tested
the ability to talk to it from Zope yet...
