Also, things get much easier for Windows users if you use the WinMySQLAdmin tool provided. It takes care of starting up and shutting down the server (and other stuff too) without having to mess around on the command line.

probably the setup went correctly, you just have a fast machine i guess so you didn't see it :) mysql.exe is the client, you need to run mysqld.exe to run the server. type mysqld.exe --help to get some startup options. use mysqladmin to verify everything is working. so: c:\mysql\bin\mysqld

server started

c:\mysql\bin\mysql would allow you to connect.

*** wish they'd put a nice readme with the w32 installation ***

I have just tried to run setup of mysql 3.23.35-win on a win98se machine and the setup program gets halfway through then vanishes of the screen, without any error messages or anything.. it all seems to be there in the mysql folder, but obviously has not finished settting up correctly. I have tried to start mysql up but it says cannot connect to server on local host (10061). do you run mysql from dos the same as a unix command line?
