I wish I could. Unfortunately there isnt. There isn't a way for me to know where things were downloaded to. There isn't a way for me to silently install mysql, sqlexpress, configure program-o, install php or configure the website for program-o. Believe me, I have looked into every one of these. All of these are prerequisite to make ez-ai work. About the only way that I could make this happen would be to offer a disk image that has everything setup but then windows would be the issue.

I am more than happy to connect to your computer and setup everything for you. I have done this for 5 others already and I actually like it. The largest issue with doing it this way is that there is very little transfer of knowledge. EZ-AI has a lot in there and I really need to do a video of the current version and how everything works. I plan on doing this over the next week or so and will make small videos showing how each feature works.

Let me know if you would like me to set it up for you. You just need to download and install team viewer 10.

I have so many important things running on the system that I do not wish to loose. This is an option and you are very kind to suggest this. I also have Denise running. She is a purchased agent from Guild3D. I will see what I can do to do this. I am talking about my desktop, but my robot has a windows 8.1 OS W3 10" tablet. I would ultimately put it on the robot. But, right now, I am having speed issues with the robot. I have ALL the ports filled up with sensors and servos and stuff.

I would like for someone to create a Super AI and EQ and put it all on a stand alone firmware that would run itself.

That is probably not far away.

thanks!

I opted to try to uses as many pre-existing packages as I could so that the development time would be spent adding features instead of rewriting things that already existed. I agree that the ultimate goal would be to have a single package that could be installed with one install and tried to make that happen but the free software such as the databases don't allow that. Really, if the chatbot were skipped, the install isnt too difficult. The chatbot adds a lot to EZ-AI though and allows you to do a lot of customizations for your particular robots personality. EZ-AI is only a few months old and has a lot of room to be improved for sure, the biggest of these is the install. It is something that I have struggled with since starting to write this. The good news is that once you complete the install (with the exception of the 1.0.0.8 version) the updates going forward are able to be done with simple installs.

Having databases to store things (which is the real power behind an AI) makes deployments more difficult. There are options for non-free databases which would allow silent installs, but the goal was to make EZ-AI as low cost as possible without sacrificing functionality. Deployments require scripts to be run on the databases to add new databases, tables and stored procedures. This can be scripted but because the database can be on any machine on your network, the scripts would have to be made at the time they were executed. This adds a completely different level of complexity but something that could definitely be done.

I wish I didn't have to work so that I could focus solely on EZ-AI, but unfortunately I haven't won the lottery yet. Seeing as how I don't play the lottery, the odds of winning become very low and I doubt that this will change anytime soon.

The offer always stands for the install to be done by me. Some have performed the install without my help. These have mainly been people who are in the same field of work as I am and have a good understanding of what is happening with EZ-AI. For those who are uncomfortable doing this, let me know and I will be happy to do the install for you.

@d.cochran The "Run WinDows Services as Custom User" under MySQL Installer 5.6.25 reject my regular laptop authentication admin username / password.

message say: The user doesn't have the minimum rights required to start the service.

Any idea how to fix this issue?

You dont need to do that. you can run as a service account. Its no problem to let it run as such.

When I run setup database from EZ-AI, robot database does not populate as expected

What should I check?

Tanks for your support Gilles

Do you have Team Viewer installed? If so, I can connect and get you beyond the issue pretty quickly.

Ok I have install team viewer, how do we proceed?
