Re: FW: Could not start MySQL after reinstall - Can't open privilege tables: Table 'mysql.host' doesn't exist

[Robert J Taylor]

Did you change the permissions for the files to include 
read/write/change for the user/account MySQL uses on your system? This 
doesn't require deleting, as far as I recall Windows permissions...

Oh, can you verify that the file host under directory mysql DOES exist? 
If so, it's really most likely a permissions problem.

Since the database I created was not critical, I could simply throw it away.
Therefore,
delete the whole MySql installation directory and unzip the alpha release
zip file again
to create the installation directory tree.   However, the following error
persists:
    Fatal error: Can't open privilege tables: Table 'mysql.host' doesn't
exist
Everything should be wiped out I thought.  Does MySQL saves some data
somewhere other than
the installation directory?  More help, please?

Check permissions on the mysql\data directory and files/folders below 
for the MySQL process/user (sorry for not knowing the right Windows 
terminology, I'm not a Windows user).
