Whoops! I just checked the properties on <Program Files | MySQL> and they got set back to read-only immediately after I said to make them read-write.
Next I checked <Program Files | Borland>, which I had set to read-write, and they are back to read-only again! How do I make this *$%#@ Vista set those properties permanently for all users and administrators? Also, is this the cause of that message I get from MySQL under Vista, or just another setback from Vista? Suggestions appreciated.

The installation went OK, but when I tried to run MySQL Server Instance Configuration Wizard, it doesn't start, and I get this message: ---------------------------------------------------- C:\Program Files\MySQL Server 5.1\bin\MySQLInstanceConfig.exe The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more detail. ------------------------------------------------------------ I made sure the file access privileges for <Program Files | MySQL> and descendants were both read and write and tried it again - same message. Is this coming from Vista? What is a side-by-side configuration? Where is the application event log stored? Has anyone successfully used D7 with MySQL on Vista? Suggestions appreciated.
