I didn't think of it until I read your message, but I had been having this problem with Vista since day one! Sometimes having to go back and reset permissions or read/write privileges 2 ore 3 times before it held when UAC was turned on. Since turning it off, this problem too had gone to the wayside!

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.
