[MySQL] Minimal install?

[fredtheman]

Hi,

I browsed through the archives, but it seems like the few examples I saw ran the MySQL installer through ExecWait. Since it's 10MB and filled with stuff I don't need, I'd like to write an NSIS script that installs the bare minimum to install a server and a client. Does anyone have some code that I could use?

From what I read, here is the minimum stuff, but I don't know about the rest (eg. installing and running a service, what about 9x, etc.):

code:


bin/



;server; 2.2MB

mysqld.exe



;command-line client; about 300KB

mysql.exe



;command-line utility to ease use of main commands; 300KB

mysqladmin.exe 



data/



;the MySQL database with tables like user, host, etc.; About 60KB

./mysql/



;the test database; 8KB

test/

./share/



;charsets for a number of languages; guess you can trim it down to just the language you need to use; about 100KB

charsets/



;one directory per language, each containing errmsg.sys and errmsg.txt

; to display error messages in the ad hoc language; Whole set about 600KB

./<language>/

Thank you
Fred.
