I've downloaded the latest version of mysql++ and I'm totally lost. I can't find any documentation as to how to install it on the net or in the user manual itself. Does anyone have a guide that can walk me through installing it, step by step?

OS- Windows XP
Compiler- VC++ 6.0
MySql- mysql++-2.0.7

What don't you understand? And have you checked the FAQ of the site you downloaded from?

Will it build under Visual C++ 7.0 or earlier?

No, it won't.

Microsoft didn't get its Standard C++ act together until VC++ 7.1. (a.k.a. Visual Studio 2003) If you must use older versions of VC++, you're stuck with the ancient 1.7.1 release. I cannot support this version; it's not an official version, and I have no idea how far it diverges from the official version. If it works, I'm happy for you. If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces.

There is now no good reason not to have the current version. Through November 6, 2006 Microsoft is giving away a limited version of Visual C++ 2005 which should work just fine with MySQL++. The main limitation is that this version doesn't include MFC or ATL. I recommend the free wxWidgets library if you need to build GUI programs.

So it doesn't look like it even matters...
