Excerpt from my Readme:
- This version is configured to be installed in c:\mysql. You can however
copy this anywhere as long as you don't change the directory structure.
For example:
mkdir d:\mysql
xcopy c:\mysql\*.* d:\mysql
mysqld should be able to automaticly find its files based on where
mysqld is located. If you want to use files from some other place, you
can tell mysqld to use some other directory with --basedir='path'.
You can also create a c:\\my.cnf file that holds any default options for
the MySQL server.
- If you have problems installing mysqld as a service, try starting mysqld
with the full path: 'C:\mysql\bin\mysqld --install'.
If this doesn't work, you can get mysqld to start properly by fixing
the path in the registry!
