This option is used only on Windows. > 2. When I take that option out, it says "Fatal error: Can't open privilege > tables: Table 'mysql.host' doesn't exist".

If privilege table files are in the 'mysql' dir, check permissions on the data dir and files. > > This, to me, suggests I need to install MySQL properly.
