I believe MySQL only supplies setup.exe files with the versions that have production status. However, if you download the appropriate .zip file from the website, then that will contain all the files that you need. Simply extract it to the default location (C:\mysql in Windows or \usr\local, I believe, in Linux). If you are upgrading, then make sure you back up your old installation as to not override your data.

Hi
I am trying to install MySQL for practice on my PC (Windows XP). I have all the administrative rights
I downloaded the zip file mysql-4.1.1a-alpha.zip from the downloads.
I extracted the zip file in a temporary folder.
The manual says run setup.exe for installing on Windows but I couldn't find this file in the temporary folder.
Can you help me on this regard
Thanks and Regards Saurabh Sharma

I have downloaded the correct windows zip file, but unlike previous Windows downloads, this does not include a setup.exe file, but hundreds of other (source?) files.
Yes, I have RTFM, which merely tells me to extract to a temporary directory the run the setup.exe file, which is non-existent.
How can I upgrade from 4.0.17, please? Or even start again from scratch with 4.1.1?
