i wasn't saying use lower version. I'm using mysql 5.0.41 with no problems. Just make sure you have everything configured correctly not counting the emu project. IE. make sure all of your required includes and libraries (zlib, mysql, perl) are in appropriate places, that you have the include path and library path in the compiler set to those places, and that you don't have any conflicting paths that would select a different version.

Getting visual studio 2005 setup correctly was the biggest challenge in compiling the emu. There is a good guide to getting it setup correctly in the wiki. The only thing it does not cover is getting your hands on the mysql includes and libraries which is what i was describing above.

When i said 3 versions of the download are available, I meant 3 versions of 5.0.41, one is 27mb and only include binarys, the other two are around 57mb and include source. These 3 versions of the download are available regardless of which version of the database you select. It is confusing use of the word version but that's what they call it on the site so.
