VS2010

I have an upcoming school project wherein we have to make a music library using navicat/ visual studio 2010 or sql/visual studio 2010.

I'm only in 2nd year college and the teacher have never taught anything that complicated. I know this probably looks simple to y'all but to me it isn't because I swear the teacher hasn't taught this far and complicated.

Now I'm trying to install SQL, navicat and Visual Studios.I have Navicat working fine and VIsual Studio. My only problem now is the SQL. After I hit enter on the ENTER PASSWORD, the screen just closes. I know I'm missing a configuration but I can't recall what it is.

Also if anyone can give me a heads up how to do this program, I would really appreciate that! Thank you all!!!!

Im not sure you've explained what the real issue is or where you are with the installs - since last time I installed MySQL, Im pretty sure I didn't need a password for that - nor the install of MySQL Connector/Net

I think you need to clearly document the steps that get you to this point

.. its always good to maintain a written log of these steps anyway when you're installing software - and we on this side cant read your mind or screen to see what the 'ENTER PASSWORD' prompt refers to ...

ENTER PASSWORD is the first line of the MySQL page when I open it. I'm supposed to hit enter and from there it should let me create database and tables but it won't. I know I missed installing one thing. Sorry if I wasn't specific. Thank you!

Im sorry, you havnt understood what I asked for - I have no idea what 'MySQL page' is given your notes thus far - if you'd said

a) you had installed MySQL as a service on windows
b) started MySQL command Line client
c) Entered your password at the 'Enter Password' prompt

..and then the shell/window disappeared, then, I'd suggest that you should check to see if the MySQL Service was running - because I know if the service isn't running that's the behaviour - I can only hope anyone else reading this will know what you mean
