It's a MySQL error.

Make sure SAM Broadcaster is shut down completely before going ahead

• Go to Start

• Select "Sam Broadcaster (Remove Only)"
• Click Uninstall/Change
• Click Continue
• Sam Broadcaster is now removed from your PC / Notebook. However, this does not mean everything is removed.

Removing MySQL

• Go to Start
• Go to Control Panel
• Click Uninstall Program
• Select "MySQL Servers and clients 3.23.52"

MySQL is now uninstalled from your PC / Notebook, however to be secure do the following:

• Go to Start
• Go to Computer
• Go to Local Disk
• Search for "C:\Program Files\SpacialAudio" in the toolbar located at the top of the page.
• Right Click on "SpacialAudio" Folder
• Click Delete

Then either install using a different platform or try MySQL again - Problem Solved

Do the 1st part of Richie's post, that should fix it. Or as an alternative install it using the FireBird server, it will work but MySQL is much superior to Firebird. MySQL is much more stable, especially for bigger libraries
With Firebird, you'll basically be on your own with DB issues. You don't find many people using it anymore. It'll work, but the larger your library grows, the more issues I've seen come up.

To be honest I'd recommend firebird for most people. I had problems when trying to use SAM with other databases because It needed me to set it up properly and I had no clue, while as Firebird installs and configures itself, meaning you shouldn't need to touch it unless of course you do a lot of stuff with the databases.
