I ran the .exe file and WHAMMO! It installed itself as a service. I just needed to edit the service to have it automatically start at boot

That's what I exaclty do and this is for '--standalone' fine. But the point ist, I want to start mysqld-nt as NT service - and this is the problem - it wouldn't let me start it as service: >C:\>net start mysql >System error 1069 >Could not start service The service is an important issue. Lets you run a programm under different user rights. Probably I'll find some other solution.
