Please follow the steps below: - The instructions below assume that you have opened a prompt screen at c:\mysql\bin directory. - After a boot, open the Task Manager (ALT+CTRL+DEL) and verify if exists a process for an MySQL server (mysqld.exe, mysqld-max.exe, mysqld-nt.exe, mysqld-max-nt.exe, mysqld-opt.exe). If yes, stop it with the following command at the prompt: net stop mysql (if the server was started as service) or mysqladmin shutdown (if the server was started as standalone mode). For NT server is necessary to make twice this command due a bug which should be fixed in the next release. - If you had installed the service before, type the command: mysqld-max-nt --remove - Type: mysqld-max-nt --install - Go to c:\winnt directory and create a file named my.ini. Edit the lines below: [mysqld] basedir=c:\mysql datadir=c:\mysql\data skip-innodb Save the file and close it. - Start the server: net start mysql NOTE If you want the support of InnoDB tables (I recommend to test), you should need to read the Manual and remove the line skip-innodb from the my.ini file.
