Your first fix failure (command prompt start) sounds like you started the CLIENT not the SERVER. CLIENT = mysql.exe SERVER = mysql-nt.exe or mysqld-nt.exe or... (there are several versions that come with each distribution)
Your second fix failure matches with your installation error. There is no SERVER executable registered as a windows service so MySQL Administrator could not locate a service to start. Have you tried following the installation documentation? It worked perfectly for me the first time I tried it (and I didn't even have an MSI or an install wizard, only a ZIP distribution). Start at the beginning and work your way through until you locate your position in the process. There is probably something very simple you can do but if I tried to explain it, I would just make you more confused. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Windows_installation.html Shawn Green Database Administrator Unimin Corporation - Spruce Pine "Simon Tierney" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on 01/13/2005 11:23:24 AM: > Hi, Can anyone help please, I am trying to install 4.1 onto this machine as > a windows service but installation will not proceed and I get the message:- > > "Resource messagedlg-confirmation not found" > > So:- > I unchecked the 'install as windows service' and tried to start it > standalone from a command prompt, but I got "ERROR 2003 <hY000>: CAN'T > CONNECT TO SERVER ON 'LOCALHOST' <10061> > > So:- > I tried to start it from administrative tools, services, but I got the > message:- > "could not start the MySQL service on Local Computer.
