If you want to support InnoDB you should set up startup InnoDB option: http://www.mysql.com/doc/I/n/InnoDB_start.html and then run mysqld-max or mysqld-max-nt. You can check if you have sopport fo InnoDB using command: SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "have%"; If InnoDB is supported, the value of variable "have_innodb" must be 'YES'.
