Thanks for the input Heikki,

I got it the right version mysql-max-nt going now. The problem was that 
winmysqladmin automatically started the wrong service- mysqld - so I had to 
uninstall that service before it would recognise any changed I made in the 
my.ini file done with winmysqladmin.

Now I can use bdb, and show variables gives InnoDB as disabled.
I've tried setting up the InnoDB variables in winmysqladmin like this, but 
the server won't start:

[mysqld]
basedir=C:/mysql
#bind-address=139.133.200.222
datadir=C:/mysql/data
language=C:/mysql/share/english
#slow query log#=
#tmpdir#=
#port=3306
#set-variable=key_buffer=16M

# startup parameters for InnoDB tables
innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:5M
innodb_data_home_dir = C:\mysql\data\bruce\ibdata
set-variable = innodb_mirrored_log_groups=1
innodb_log_group_home_dir = C:\mysql\data\bruce\iblogs
set-variable = innodb_log_files_in_group=3
set-variable = innodb_log_file_size=5M
set-variable = innodb_log_buffer_size=5M
innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit=1
innodb_log_arch_dir = c:\mysql\data\bruce\iblogs
innodb_log_archive=0
set-variable = innodb_buffer_pool_size=5M
set-variable = innodb_additional_mem_pool_size=5M
set-variable = innodb_file_io_threads=4
set-variable = innodb_lock_wait_timeout=50

I created all the directories mentioned, but something is preventing it 
working. If I comment out the InnoDB lines mysql starts.

Thanks in advance.
