Dear V@no

thank u 4 ur reply and that does make that part much clearer. I honestly do appreciate ur comments and would not be asking mysql related questions, which i am now comfortable roughly converting from ms sql. what still confuses me is:
i watched some video's for installation on the forum but the guy is talking about using format 'control panel user name'_'database name' eg fred_mypics, BUT i dont have a control panel as i am installing on my own server, hence my continued confusion. i have thought may b it is my local user id + _db name but that did not work, so in my particular scenario, on my own host with no c.panel, what should be entered for these fields. i have tried just on their own without .._ but that did not work either. M queries really r specific to info required specifically by the install.php script.
kind regards
David

clearly no one is reading the messages as they are very specifically 4images questions and NOT mysql related.

my questions are very simple: From the 4images install script, when it refers to database and administrator user names...2 different usernames, hence my question,
is the administrator question related to the database OR OS related?

As for the 16 yr old who thinks 4images documentation is 'great', clearly he has not been involved in IT long enough to know the difference in quality documentation and near non-existent documentation.

ok, i appreciate you think im being difficult but those are not thorough installation instructions. it assumes u have used mysql before (im a ms sql person and mysql is completely different). on the install.php screen..the database username, is that root? i have not created any other users so assume so!!
what is the administration username..is that my windows administrator user and pwd?
im running on my own windows server so do not have a control panel to front end..so need to know exactly which user id's u r talking about.

well other than the fact it is written for the Unix environment, hardly answers my question really does it.
So, to make myself perfectly clear. Are there any particular installation steps different for a windows & iiS environment?
as for getting upset over the 'where the hell'...1) get a life 2) if the site had a clear documentation link, i would not need to be wasting my time with the questions on a forum now would i. assuming that someone is going to download a product first to get documentation is quite ridiculous.
other products have far better sites, well documented, but either less features or less flexible by my brief review so on balance, 4images looks ok, but needs to improve on documentation. Documentation is key to a products success, not a forum which is generally a series of random notes and lack structure to formulate opinion or be of REAL product benefit.

OK, im really interested in using this software BUT, where the hell is the clear documentation. I just want to go to a page that has installation details for installing on windows environment with iis/mysql php installed.
Im actually hosting my own domain on my own server, in case this affects installation details but should not i guess.
Does this documentation exist, if so, where?, if not, why?!!!!
