This is actually a small client program that needs to be Peter> bundled? Other things: Main question to ask is: - Is MariaDB the only thing you will run on this machine? (If yes, then generate a my.cnf file that will use all resources on the machine, if no, generate a my.cnf file that uses very little resources) - Offer to run mysql_upgrade (from within the wizard) if we detect old MySQL data. - Which storage engines to enable. (Imporant question to be able to generate the right .cnf file) - Strict mode (agree we should ask) By default, I don't think MySQL anymore has anonymous users on windows and then we shouldn't either. (Even if I think that for personal usage of a database that you can only access from localhost, having a password is not strictly necessary on windows) Regards, Monty
