I see that, but even when I bypass them, I can run 2 instances of mysqld, it shows up in the task list as 2 separate tasks, but they both use the data directory specified in the last instance I run. I'm trying to get 2 different instances of mysqld running at the same time, each using a different port and different data directory.
