You run it just like any other executable; double-click it in Windows Explorer, for example. Additionally, from your email, it appears you tried to install the library before building it. > Set the VC++ Directories for the Include files and Library files > to point to relevant folders in the MySQL developer components. That shouldn't be necessary. The rebake step you did will have taken care of this. > What have I missed? You haven't built MySQL++ yet. You were perhaps expecting that the library came pre-built? It's just source code. Open vc2008\*.sln, hit F7, wait for that to build, change to the Release configuration on the Build menu, hit F7 again. Now install.hta and the other examples will work.
