Heikki, Thanks so much! That did the trick - mysqld is up and humming.

Hi!
mysqld thinks some character pairs like \b and \s are special characters. You should replace
basedir=C:\mysql\bin language=c:\mysql\share\english\
by
basedir=C:/mysql/bin language=c:/mysql/share/english/
mysqld will internally convert those slashes to backslashes on Windows.
