Forum Getting Started: Re: Complicated!!!

The windows installer wiki page goes through the required software and the steps of the installer, it's at http://wiki.lamsfoundation.org/display/lamsdocs/Windows+Installer+Help. Yes, MySQL needs to be installed beforehand, it must be downloaded separately. The wiki link above has links to the MySQL downloads and installation instructions web pages.

It would be simpler if we could bundle all the required software into a single installer, but some licensing restrictions prevent that. It's fairly common though for web applications (e.g. Wordpress, Moodle, etc) to be installed along with a supporting database or web server (MySQL, Apache, IIS).

Re: the next button not working on the demo server, I assume this is the Add Lesson wizard? I think the problem might be the large number of users in 'Demo group C' - the wizard loads all the potential monitors and learners, which can slow down the wizard if there are a large number. All you can do is be patient and let it complete its loading - but what I'll probably do is start a new group on the demo server for now if this group is too big.
