mySQL not working in 2.7 Standalone

[Karen]

Ton,

There are a couple of places to check - although mySQL is supported  
as standard and therefore shouldn't be problematic.  I use altSQLite  
and have the drivers in my "My Revolution Studio/Externals" directory  
- but you don't need this.

The drivers should also appear in your application directory under  
the "2.7.0-gm-1/Runtime" directory for the appropriate operating  
system and chipset.  There should be an "Externals" directory within  
these directories which should also have the database drivers.   
However, these come with Rev for MySQL, so should also be OK.

Finally, you need to check the options in Standalone Applications  
Settings...  - I had more luck selecting the "Select inclusions for  
the standalone application" and then ensuring that the "Database  
Support" checkbox was ticked and the "Database" script library was  
selected along with (in your case) "MySQL" option.  But it sounds  
like you are already doing that.

I had a similar problem trying to use XML support when building for  
Windows from Mac OS X.  Even when I selected it for inclusion  
manually, the resultant standalone didn't include it.  I had to  
manually copy it to the appropriate place (or manually load it as per  
Trevor's suggestion).  There certainly seem to be problems on the  
Windows side with getting the various script libraries included and  
this may be what you are seeing.  If so, the bug should hopefully be  
fixed when 2.7.1 appears.
