Hi!
To install and start up MySQL is easy and fast on Win2000,
below you see the commands I had, before the setup:
Microsoft Windows 2000 [Versão 5.00.2195]
(C) Copyright 1985-1999 Microsoft Corp.
C:\>cd\mysql\bin
C:\mysql\bin>mysqld-nt --install
C:\mysql\bin>net start mysql
O serviço de MySql foi iniciado com êxito.
C:\mysql\bin>mysql test
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 1 to server version: 3.23.36
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer
mysql>
You see the message of the service start in Portuguese, because
my Win2k Server version is Portuguese.
After this, every machine boot the service is started automatic.
Notice also that you need to login with administrator rights
to set a service on NT/Win2k machines.
Take a look in the Manual at \mysql\docs
The setup and start I did ~ 2 min.
Regards,
Miguel
