As well as ''CumulusMX.exe'', you will find [[Software#Create_Missing|'''CreateMissing.exe''']] and [[Software#ExportToMySQL|'''ExportToMySQL.exe''']] zips to download from the ''Software'' page.  These should be unzipped so their executables are added to same folder as '''CumulusMX.exe'''.  Both have been written in C# by Mark Crossley to work with MX. You need to ensure that you use the right version of these utilities for the MX release you are running, so if you are using an old MX release, you might need to go directly to the [https://github.com/cumulusmx Cumulus MX github] page, and navigate to the utility of interest, to download an older version of these utilities.
