Bad Handshake

[geurt]

I get a Bad Handshake when trying to connect TMyConnection runtime (no problem when connecting design time). I'm using MySQL 5.5 (tried 5.6 also, same error):

MySQL server version: 5.5.32
MySQL client version: Direct

With MyDac 8.0.1 Standard for Delphi 7.

I found a few entry's in this forum (deleting older MyDac version's) but that did not help.

Regards, Geurt

Hello.

Such a problem usually occurs when installing a new MyDAC version, but files from an old MyDAC version (that has the "Bad HandShake" problem) remain on a PC. To solve the problem, try the following:
- uninstall MyDAC;
- search and remove all *dac*.bpl and *crcontrols*.bpl files from your computer;
- remove *.dcu files from your project;
- reinstall MyDAC.

Thanks, found some files from prev. installation using this search string. Problem solved.
