title: Can't connect to MySQL -unable to connect to any of the specified mysql hosts vb.net
body: <p>i have created an installer for my vb project. it tried to install it to my work PC and it worked. I then installed it to a different PC. It was installed successfully but when i tried to to run it, the system was unable to connect to my database. It is giving me an error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Can't connect to MySQL -unable to connect to any of the specified mysql hosts
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I only created an installer that has the <code>.exe</code> in it and the database, nothing else.</p>
  
  <p>Am I missing some requirements or additional application that is needed for a <code>vb.net application</code> with a <code>mysql database</code> to run smoothly on a different PC? what is it?</p>
  
  <p>What causes the issue?</p>
  
  <p>thanks in advance!</p>
