Hi. I am attempting to install Win_OpenEMM-5.4.0 on Vista (Sorry, I'm a computer novice and don't know how to install an open source operating system)
All the files are downloaded and place in the C:\OpenEMM directory. WHen I run the setup.bat file, the script runs but nothing happens. I am not asked to put in a password at all.
I've downloaded and installed MySQL 5.0 Community Server, Python 2.5 for Windows and JDK version 6 as instructed.
Help!
Setup.bat Doesn't allow for password entries

Install issues on windows
I'm also having a similar issue with this. I followed the install instructions and can't get past step 2.1.1 when I run the setup.bat I get the following message.
Starting up .. home is c:\OpenEMM .. found codebase .. setup:
Setup database, please enter the super user password defined during MySQL instllation:
'mysqladmin' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batchfile.
Failed to create database
[press return]
the spelling error above in installation was not by my mistake.
where can I specify the password or path to the mysqld files?
very annoying I'm half tempted to actually pay for a program.

Re: Setup.bat Doesn't allow for password entries
I had the same problem,
Here is what I did to fix it
run regedit
navigate to HKEY_USERS
navigate to user id (usually a string such as S-1-5-21-##########-##########-##########-####)
navigate to software
navigate to MySQL AB
navigate to MySQL Server 5.x
insert new string value (right click > new > string value)
name new string value "location"
modify new string value ( right click on "location" > select modify... )
enter path to MySQL Server 5.x\bin
mine was C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin
click ok
go back to openemm and run setup.bat
worked for me.
this was pretty frustrating until I discovered that setup.bat doesn't use the windows environment path, instead it uses the registry setting, my installation of MySQL didn't put the location in the registry setting, so I had to manually enter it using the steps above. Hope this helps all those who run into the same problem on a windows install of OpenEMM...
