From %mysql_home%\bin try running it first in a cmd window  ...

mysqld-nt --console --log_warnings

or

mysqld-nt --standalone --log_warnings

Once it runs without errors, shut mysqld-nt down, eg by running

mysaladmin -uroot shutdown

from another cmd window, then install the service with ...

mysqld-nt -- install

after which it should auto-start at bootup.

There isn't a previous version on the system - this is a brand new drive. I have MyODBC Connector 3.51 installed.

Is this a known problem, or am I missing something here. I've had earlier versions working just fine.
