6.1. Running Under Windows

Under Windows, the names of the executable files in the MySQL GUI Tools suite are:

  • MySQLAdministrator.exe

  • MySQLQueryBrowser.exe

  • MySQLMigrationTool.exe

Start any one of the MySQL GUI Tools by double clicking its desktop icon, or by selecting it from the Start menu. Alternatively, you can open a DOS window and start it from the command line. For example, you could run the MySQL Administrator in the following way: 

C:\> "C:\%PROGRAMFILES%\MySQL\MySQL Tools for version\MySQLAdministrator.exe"

%PROGRAMFILES% is the default directory for programs on your machine, for example C:\Program Files or C:\programme. If your path contains spaces, you must enclose the command within quotation marks as shown above.
