Can I install or set up a database generated by PHPMagic on a Windows hosting? If yes. How? I'm trying it, but it's not connecting for setup. Thanks for your help.

If your host supports php and mysql it will.
You need to create a database first ! That may be what you are missing. You need to know the database name you created with your hosting company the servername, username and password associated with this db. Most host offer some type of control panel for managing your mysql databases if they are included in your hosting plan. Your host should provide the servername for connecting. In many cases it is localhost but I've had host provide ip address or full url mysql.something.com

good luck,, it is a time saving app. be sure to browse the help contents before beginning to see how the app works too. Perhaps download a few of the sample files to browse also. You can learn how foreign keys work etc.
