Get the zipped version and install it by hand (first remove the one you installed using the wizard). Follow the instructions on the manual during install, you should have no problems. I really hate those .msi packages...

I completely removed C:\mysql from my hard disk and the my.ini file in C:\Windows. I used the mysql automated installer then the configuration wizard.

The command C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\mysqld don't start MySQL on Windows 98 SE.

This commands return : "[Error] Can't find messagefile 'C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\share\english\errmsg.sys'". (errmsg.sys exists at that location).

(In other computer I installed this version (5.0.16) of MySQL on Windows XP. I can run MySQL as a service. But I can't run it from the command line)

Hello,

Mysql is running on Windows 98 SE.

With previous versions of mysql I can start mysql from the command line with: C:\> C:Mysql\bin\mysqld

Now with version 5.0.16 this command don't start mysql and I can't use "net start ..." with windows 98.

The command C:\> C:Mysql\bin\mysqld --defaults-file="..." don't start mysql.

The new versions of MySQL install at

%PROGRAMFILES/MySQL/MySQL Server X/

Not at C:\MySQL

All commands return : "[Error] Can't find messagefile 'C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\share\english\errmsg.sys'"

You're probably trying to run an old version that its searching for libraries and trying to use the new ones (not very good).

I checked this file : errmsg.sys exists in C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\share\english.

The same thing occurs if I add the MySQL path in Autoexec.bat.

thanks for your help.

NB: Here is my my.ini:

Try running:

"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5\bin\mysqld.exe"

from command line...

If that fails, backup your data from the old mysql and remove any traces from mysql on your system, follow the upgrade guide, there are issues between versions.

If you never used or has no useful data on your mysql, remove it and follow the install guide at the Manual.
