General guidelines:

* Avoid uninstalling mySQL5 -- the uninstaller is buggy and re installation might be difficult.

SAP2011 requires mySQL 5, if you have mySQL4 installed you should first uninstall it and make sure that the service (in task manager) no longer exists.

To upgrade from mySQL 4 to mySQL 5:

a. Uninstall mySQL4 including the mySQL control center.

b.  Delete c:\ProgramData\MySql directory (it's hidden).

c. If that doesn't work, try to find and delete any directory containing mySQL in it's name in Programs folder.  You may also need to clean up the registry.

If you upgrade from mySQL4, It is also recomended to select mySQL5 as the instance (service) name (default is mySQL).

5.   Create SAP database, make sure you enter the password selected during mySQL installation (sap2011).

6. Install SAP2011.

7. Installation of Connection to Matlab is optional.

8. Install the SAP recorder.
