I am trying to use a MySQL db hosted on a shared server as an ASP.NET
Membership Provider and .net framework 3.5 (visual studio 2008)
I am new to a lot of this and have found the following websites which
offer some degree of help but by no means a complete solution or
uncomplicated explanation of whats involved:

1)  http://blog.nolanbailey.com/2008/03/08/mysql-aspnet-membership-and-ro...
Very good but not complete enough for my level eg:
"<add name="MySQLMembershipProvider" autogenerateschema="true" ...."

2)
http://aspnet101.com/aspnet101/tutorials.aspx?id=63
Looks initially promising and the kind of solution simplicity I would
expect in reality but...
the first stage of the proceeedings doesnt work out for me on my vista
machine....
c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework>aspnet_regsql -W
'aspnet_regsql' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

3)
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/database/mysqlmembershipprovider.aspx?f...
Many credible sources point to this page but running MySQL
Administrator and trying to execute the sql to alter tables I run into
syntax errors the origins of which I dont yet understand.

4) http://www.dotnetsurfers.com/Blog/2007/12/12/UsingMySQLWithAspnetForA...
Not sufficiently detailed.

Can anyone point me to a reasonable set of instructions to SETUP ASP
MEMBERSHIP AND ROLES ON A MySQL db on a SHARED REMOTE SERVER, USING
Visual Studio 2008 and its Login, New Member etc wizards and
templates?

I would really appreciate any help.
