1. Run this as a service (I can run this manually, not problem there) Error message: Could not start MySQL on local computer Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly

This could happen for a number of reasons. Most likely the process can't find the defaults file. If this service is installed, then do: Mysqld-nt --remove <service_name>

Then do this

Mysqld-nt --install <service_name> --defaults-file=<full path to my.ini file>

Now edit your my.ini file and make sure the data and base paths point to the correct locations.
