I have successfully installed R (version 2.8.1) and RMySQL (version 0.7-4) on my PC (Windows). Now I have a problem running RMySQL on R. I constantly receive the following error-message:

Error in utils::readRegistry("SOFTWARE\\MySQL AB", hive = "HLM", maxdepth = 2) :
   Registry-Schlüssel 'S' nicht gefunden
Error : .onLoad in 'loadNamespace' für 'RMySQL' fehlgeschlagen
Fehler: Laden von Paket/Namensraum für 'RMySQL' fehlgeschlagen

Does anyone have a clue what I should do? I don`t have any experience in such issues. I have not installed MySQL on my PC. Could this be the solution to my problem? Is it true that RMySQL does work properly on R only if you first install MySQL?

That's what it looks like. I'm not sure why it is reporting 'S' as a problem, but when I execute that line I see

> readRegistry("SOFTWARE\\MySQL AB", hive = "HLM", maxdepth = 2)
$`MySQL Server 5.0`
$`MySQL Server 5.0`$Location
[1] "F:\\Program Files\\MySQL\\MySQL Server 5.0\\"

$`MySQL Server 5.0`$Version
[1] "5.0.22"


and when I change the key to a nonexistent one I see

> readRegistry("SOFTWARE\\foobar", hive = "HLM", maxdepth = 2)
Error in readRegistry("SOFTWARE\\foobar", hive = "HLM", maxdepth = 2) :
  Registry key 'S' not found

I'll take a look at readRegistry and try to improve the error message.
