C:\my.cnf
In that file, put this...
[mysqld]
basedir=D:/path_to_mysql
Again, change D to the proper drive letter, and use a forward slash, instead of Windoze's normal backwards slash. The path will end in the folder you installed it too. If you installed mysql in D:\programs\webstuff\mysql then put that as your basedir, with no trailing slash.

MySQL in different folder
Sorry for only answering now - I've being at a nice birthday party.
Windows world, so I may not be able to help you too much, but let's see...What's not working about it? Does the server start? Can you not connect to it? Something else?When I start mySQLadmin the 'red' light stays on. When I want to start mysql.exe it wont do it - just getting a beeb back. As I wrote before, when I install mySQL in the standard path (which is c:\mysql) all works fine; mySQLadmin and mysql.exe can be started.
