Navicat

[Rur0uni]

So I'm getting ready to take a shot at building my own server, but the Navicat link in the wiki guide isn't working. Would anybody happen to know which versions of Navicat Lite work with the build so I can go out and find it elsewhere?

You can use MySQL workbench instead which is made by the creators of MySQL:

The community version is entirely free.

Awesome, I'll go with that then. Thanks for the help.

Quick follow-up question: There's 4 versions of Visual Studio 2013. Any preference? And does 32 or 64 matter for all of this?

There is no 64bit version of Visual Studio. You need 2013 and you need C++.
Depending on what page you are looking at, you may be seeing the other individual language installs like Vb.NET / C#, C++, etc.

Or you may be seeing things like Pro, Ultimate, Team, or Express.

The 4 versions of Visual Studio Express I'm seeing are 2013 for Web, 2013 with Update 2 for Windows, 2013 for Windows Desktop, and Team Foundation Server Express 2013 with Update 2. I'd imagine there isn't a whole lot of difference between them that would impact what's needed for the server, but better safe than sorry lol

Much appreciated on those links. There's a lot I'm having to wrap my head around to get this server going, but I'll try my best not to annoy everybody with all the questions I'm bound to have lol

The Navicat link worked great, thanks.

As for Visual Studio, the install went fine, but it left out the Microsoft SQL server components. I'm assuming this is because the SQL server is already set up and it interfered with the install, but are the Microsoft components actually crucial to the whole process working?

You don't need the MS SQL components for DarkStar

The MSSQL stuff is for built in tools for Visual Studio. You don't need them as whasf said. DSP makes use of MySQL.
