Neil:
Did you add c:\mysql\bin to your system's path? The installer does not.
Did you install MySQL as a service (c:\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt --install) and
start the service (net start mysql)?

Subject: just starting problem - WinNT
I am using, well trying to use mysql through WinNT. I have
successfully installed mysql and have had a look at the client
programs provided with the package. I'm trying to use mysql
through the DOS command prompt under Windows but when I type
C:\mysql I get an error message saying that 'it's an unspecified file,
program, etc.' Can someone direct me where I'm going wrong.
MySQL is installed under C:\MySQL. I get the same result when I
try it from an explicit directory too.
