I have been looking for version of MySQL for my xampp installation.
For those, who are not aware, xampp is a bundled package of many software and very easy to install. It has Apache, MySQL, PHP and many more.
You can read more about this in
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
So i had installed some version of xampp in my PC and completely forgot about it.
I had some issue with MySQL and wanted to know which version it was using , and oh! it was so difficult to find.
After that i came across "Readme" file which has everything written on it.
It is in xampp control panel-> Click on Help-> Now you see "Read Me" in another pop-up window
Click on ReadMe it will give all details of all software installed with xampp.
Something like this :
===============================
###### ApacheFriends XAMPP (Basispaket) version 1.7.0 ######
+ Apache 2.2.11
+ MySQL 5.1.30 (Community Server)
+ PHP 5.2.8 + PEAR (Support for PHP 4 has been discontinued)
+ PHP-Switch win32 1.0 (use "php-switch.bat" in the xampp main directory)
+ XAMPP Control Version 2.5 from www.nat32.com
+ XAMPP Security 1.0
+ SQLite 2.8.15
+ OpenSSL 0.9.8i
+ phpMyAdmin 3.1.1
+ ADOdb 4.990
+ Mercury Mail Transport System v4.52
+ FileZilla FTP Server 0.9.29
+ Webalizer 2.01-10
+ Zend Optimizer 3.3.0
+ eAccelerator 0.9.5.3 für PHP 5.2.8 (but not activated in the php.ini)
