MySQL provider initialization failed - recommendations?

When trying to access a MySQL DB from BDS 2006 through either BDP or dbExpress I get "MySQL provider initialization failed" - My assumption was that I didn't have the libmysql.dll in the path as recommended in many places.  I copied libmysql.dll from my mysql tools directory (that successfully contacted my DB) and have continued to have no luck.

I couldn't find any more recommendations anywhere so I figured I'd admit it here and see what you guys had to say.

Hi Wholly,

> When trying to access a MySQL DB from BDS 2006 through either BDP or dbExpress I get "MySQL provider initialization failed"

This is most likely due to using a version of MySQL which is not 
supported (yet).

Which version of MySQL are you using? Did you notice the supported 
version 4.0.24 mentioned in for example page 10 of the feature matrix?

Thanks Bob.  That could very well be it.
