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.

Hi Peter, and thanks for the quick reply.
I managed to get it installed and running - it seems to be very flaky
depending on which config wizard options are chosen. This time I got
asked which port to use - that had never appeared before.
But now I'm trying to point it to a different data dir. In my.ini I have
datadir="I:/mysql/data/"
which I've also copied to c:\
When I try to restart the service from control panel, it throws an error:
Error 1067. The process terminated unexpectedly.
