Thanks a lot for your help Christian.

I tried running the server from the DOS prompt and it complained about the
innodb_log_arch_dir variable. It is running fine now.

It seems you are missing a innodb_log_arch_dir directive. I remember
innodb complaining about this not having the same value as
innodb_log_group_home_dir. Anyway, you could probably try to start
the daemon from the dos prompt directly, so you see error messages -
at least that's what I do on linux. (Currently I start it through a
perl script with the following options (strip the unix_file_flush
stuff of course):

exec qw{
        /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld
                --basedir=/usr/local/mysql
                --datadir=/usr/local/mysql/var
                --pid-file=/usr/local/mysql/var/pflanze.pid
                --skip-locking
                --innodb_data_home_dir=/usr/local/mysql/
                --innodb_data_file_path=ibdata/ibdata1:1000M
                --set-variable=innodb_mirrored_log_groups=1
                --innodb_log_group_home_dir=/usr/local/mysql/iblog/
                --set-variable=innodb_log_files_in_group=3
                --set-variable=innodb_log_file_size=50M
                --set-variable=innodb_log_buffer_size=8M
                --innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit=1
                --innodb_log_arch_dir=/usr/local/mysql/iblog/
                --innodb_log_archive=0
                --set-variable=innodb_buffer_pool_size=90M
                --set-variable=innodb_additional_mem_pool_size=5M
                --set-variable=innodb_file_io_threads=4
                --set-variable=innodb_lock_wait_timeout=50
                --innodb_unix_file_flush_method=O_DSYNC
};

)
