I tried using this one earlier in order to install MySQL driver from sources distribution (version 1.2.3c1), but it crashed during the install (all sorts of build errors, I didn't figure what went worng). I hate black magic, so out-of-box package seems to be optimal solution in this case (otherwise why using Windows anyway :-)). Nevertheless, thanks for your help!
