I have created a simple app using vb.net 2008 and MySQL 5.0.1
Is it possible to that my application will detect and install mysql and its default schema if no mysql is installed?

If yes how?

So you're asking if you can include a copy of MYSQL with your program as a prerequisite to be automatically installed if needed?

This can get complicated. if you are trying to install it to a server from a client then i would recommend just installing it to the server manually. If every thing is local then you might be better off just using MicrosoftSQL Database file. My experience with mssql is that it's much easier to build and use inside of the programming environment. But as far as needing a DB Host Server, Mysql is pretty nice.
