Good day everyone, and thank you for your interest to my question. Okay lets be direct, so I've just finished my Final Defense for my senior project (Municipality Project Management System), everything went well and graduation for me is inches away, but I had some recommendations.

They want me to create an install that much check if mysql is available,
then installs mysql,then creates the database for the system automatically and last run the program.

I only know how to create a simple install from the VS2010 but that has many limitations. Yes I already did a lot of googling, with no success of finding a tutorial. I even wonder if this is possible to do.

Can you guys help me? this is really important for me and I will be delighted of your help. This is the key for my graduation next March OSmile :D
