No, I did not install it there but I would hope the installer would be smart enough to figure that out. It was. I checked the services for MySQL and it has everything set perfectly. You got me thinking so I checked the my.ini for file locations in it and everything is okay there.

I think it is poor that there is a file error and the name of the file cannot be included. I would think better of such a solid product as MySQL. I'm very surprised and not happy about it.

Can you confirm that you installed MySQL into c:\mysql? If you chose different the service may need to be updated to look for the executable in the correct directory.

Trying to Install 4.1.6 with MSI Installer

I went through the install with no problems and came to the execute to start the database and I get a file not found. There is no file name so I am assuming it is my.ini. my.ini is in the /windows folder as put by the install wizard. A filename would be nice so I know what to look for!

Event Viewer/Application says

Product: MySQL Server 4.1 -- Installation operation completed successfully.

Event Viewer/System says

The MySQL service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified.

I need to get this installed right away as I have projects depending upon this. Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.
