Did you download the latest svn?
Also, one thing to note, the first time I installed mysql I didn't install the developer files (was following the tutorial for only setting up a binary installation of eqemu). The instructions told me it would be fine to go back and tell the installer to install them and all would be good. The problem was what it wouldn't let me choose c:\mysql--it defaulted to c:\ProgramData\mysql or something like that. However, when I went back to look at the ProgramData folder, no Mysql folder was to be found. I did, however, find the developer files in c:\mysql\(forgot the directory, but i remember seeing them sitting there).

I didn't check to see if the environment variable got set to the ProgramData path. I did verify that all the paths were specified in the Include and Library folders in vs2008.

Thanks for posting how you got yours working on Win7 x86-64.
I may have to uninstall mysql and install xamp like you did to get it to work.

Thanks!
