I dunt know MySQL's ini file.
However, you have to copy a file "my-example.cnf" from your MySQL root
directory to C:\ and then rename it as "my.cnf".
Then edit the file C:\my.cnf . You modify paths in it by the "Escape format"
like E:\\MySQL\\ . save it.
open a new command prompt and change to your MySQL bin directory, run
mysqld-nt-max
in another command prompt and change to your MySQL bin directory, run mysql.
you can connect MySQL server.
Any other problem, you can refer manual.html in your MySQL/docs directory.
There is a section "Installation in Windows". Then find your version.

Hi Stefan,
Thank You very much for this message to Maggie regarding installation to
a
Windows 2000 system.
I am a neophite and have been lost. I am now partially found!!!
My question: Do I need to do anything to the ini file, or is that now
done?
Am I now good to go?
Thanks,
Susan
