You may be running exrun incorrectly.  My guess is that you're saying 
something like this:

	exrun.bat resetdb resetdb servername username password

instead of:

	exrun.bat resetdb servername username password

MySQL++ comes from the Unix world, where this sort of usage message is 
extremely common and well-understood.  It means that if you say:

	install.bat lib32

you will get:

	c:\mysql++
	c:\mysql++\include
	c:\mysql++\lib32
	c:\mysql++\lib32\debug
	c:\mysql++\lib32\release

Because you might need to have multiple different library installs.  One 
common reason is having both MinGW and Visual C++ installed.  Another I 
hinted at above: 32 and 64-bit builds of the library.  There are still 
others I can imagine.

It doesn't bother with all that for the include files, because those 
should be the same for all build systems.
