Hi, I do not know if this is a bug or feature.
We installed MySQL on a test machine with many partitions. The start of the service crashed with error 1067 if Windows was not installed on drive C. The only way to get it up and running was to place the file 'my.cnf' in the root of drive C. It is no problem to use 'my.ini' in the Windows directory if Windows is installed on drive C. The installation of Windows on any other drive will force you to switch to 'C:\my.cnf' as the only way to configure MySQL. It would be helpfull to the users if the manual would state that MySQL only allows the use of 'my.ini' in the Windows directory if Windows is installed on drive C. The documentation uses drive C only as an example at the moment.
