Hi! Just specify different ports, data and base directories for those instances (using command-line parameters -P, --basedir and --datadir respectively, for example).
Instance 1 startup: mysqld-nt -P=3306 --basedir=e:/mysql1 --datadir=e:/mysql1/data --console --standalone Instance 2 startup: mysqld-nt -P=3307 --basedir=e:/mysql2 --datadir=e:/mysql2/data --console --standalone If I remember this right, you can do this with services on Windows, too, but it will get trickier then. On *nix change the paths, but it should work the same way otherwise. mysqld-nt changes to mysqld.
