OpenKM Community Installation on Windows machine with MySQL

[dxbnewbie29]

Hello, I'm a newbie here and might be asking a redundant but very basic question.
I am trying out openKM to assess if it will satisfy my team's need for version control etc. for documents.
I want to install the community version to use MySQL with about 35-40 users.

SourceForge gives me a .exe file for installation. I installed it and it was working fine.

Then, I decided to give MySQL a try and got this link:
http://wiki.openkm.com/index.php/MySQL_-_OpenKM_6.2

However, when I changed the HSQL dialect to MySQL, I was unable to launch openKM (and it says in the orange box in the link that I should not change this after the installation of openKM).
I also found out that I need to download MySQL JDBC driver & and move it to $TOMCAT_HOME/lib. This can also be done after the installation right?

How do I change it before installing? I only have an .exe.

Sorry if I have asked very basic questions but I am confused!

Hi, I found a .zip bundle with OpenKm+Tomcat and managed to do the setup using MySQL. Thanks anyway

I suggest 64 bits OS otherwise you'll not able to use more than 2GB of RAM ( it's due to JVM restriction ).

About MySQL take a look here http://wiki.openkm.com/index.php/MySQL_-_OpenKM_6.2 if you still not found it.
