i'm changing installation. to add a better multi-platform / multi-operating 
system support for next installer / packaging issue. I want an "install and 
just work" like. And an unified one for :
* vtigercrm
* vtiger'n go
* debian/ubuntu package
* vtiger addon for xampp

have you got a better way to inject database ?

* php code need user intervention and break "install and just work" idea.
* or a specific php code to inject data but for me it's like sql file
* adodb xml file ? don't know it exists, how can inject db data with this ?
software dependencies ?
* how to resolve multi db support like mysql posqtgresql oracle mssql ?

so i used a simple sql file and use sql-client as dependencie.

yes, it's more flexible and it's just a file. There's no headaches support, 
just putting preliminary file for an easy way to install and update.
i'll update it as needed for now until i'll automate it.

looking initial subject : Why include a SQL file when we don't use it ?
i want to ask why include a bin directory when we don't use it ?

cheers,
