Thanks for your suggestions, everyone, but I have followed the manual and repeated the installation process (with it's very nice GUI, by the way) more than once, and I still have a problem.
Perhaps it isn't that simple after all. I had similar problem on this laptop when I installed version 4, and I see now the same message in event logs that "The MySQL service failed to start due to the following error: MySQL is not a valid win32 application". I had no problem installing and running version 4 of the server on a desktop running XP. So I think the issue is with the laptop. At the beginning of the laptop installation XP whines that MySQL is not digitally signed or something, but when I instruct it to ignore that the installation commences. I noticed that the MySQL service records the old location of the executable for the server but you can't edit that. So I chose MySQL4 as the service name during re-installation -but it refuses to create the service. So I chose port 3307 in case that was causing a conflict -but still it refuses to create the service. If anyone thinks they know the solution to this problem (be it trivial or not) I'll take the risk that the answer might confuse me, because it's not in the manual..... Thanks for any help. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gleb Paharenko" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <mysql@lists.mysql.com> Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2005 4:35 PM Subject: Re: install failure on XP toshiba laptop > Hello. > > > 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> > > What program have you started?
