\QLC\shared\mysql to the folder \MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\. You overwrite the existing
my.ini file.

2) If you have specified MySQL root password other than "root", please be sure to change the
password in the following files "connection-pool-mysql.ini" (in the folder ...\qlc\pmev8\conf
and ...\qlc\shared\conf)

the Services window. Scroll and right-click on MySQL. In the right-click menu, select Stop.

pmev8-rcrt-dbase.bat

pm-v3-v8.bat

pm-v4-v8.bat

pm-v5x-v8.bat

In all the above files locate the lines starting with

"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\mysqladmin"
Change this line to reflect the path where MySQL has been installed. For example if you have installed
MySQL in Program Files folder of E-Drive, change to
"E:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\mysqladmin"
If you have specified MySQL root password other than "root", then in all the above files locate the lines
starting with
"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\mysqladmin"
