Solution

  • DB Express / Delphi 7 did not support MySQL 5 so you'll need a copy of the open source MySQL 5 drivers for DB Express (Found here).

    You should also ensure that the libmysql.dll assembly is installed and can be found in your PATH variable. If you need to find it again, it can be found in the MySQL5.X zip distribution in lib\opt
