Unable to connect using embedded connection properties

[redBeard]

I just installed dbForge Studio Express for MySQL v 6.0.265 (on Windows) and I'm trying to connect to a database structure with the server offline.

I copied libmysqld.dll to the installation directory of my dbForge installation and on the Database Connection Properties page, Embedded tab, I did the following:

- checked 'use embedded server'
- unchecked 'use my.ini file
- entered base folder of my MySQL 5.1 server installation
- entered data folder of where the MySQL 5.1 data is

Test connection displays an error dialog of: Unable to load libmysqld.dll

I've tried copying that 'libmysqld.dll' to c:\windows\system32, tried different versions of the 'libmysqld.dll (5.1.30, 5.1.69), nothing works. For each test (of copying the library around or using a different version I restarted dbForge Studio.

Help!

Please make sure you placed the libmysqld.dll (and not libmysql.dll) library to the directory where the executable file of your application is located. Also, please note that you should use a 32-bit libmysqld.dll for 32-bit applications, and a 64-bit libmysqld.dll for 64-bit applications.
