make sure the existing directories has been removed fully, then continue with
new installation, after installation is over, pl. restart the system, if mysql daemon
has not started, pl. go to ..\mysql\bin\ directory & run winmysqladmin.exe.
mysql service will be strated to work..

Ok I have a question. This is the first time any of us here in our office have installed MySQL or for that fact worked with MySQL. So I got stuck with trying to figure it out. Ok here is the problem. I completely removed the previous MYSQL installation attempt. I started new to install MYSQL. I go to setup and run the setup and the status bar does not move much and the installation takes about 5 seconds and then it is done. I get to the finished installing screen, but there are no options to choose from like the test in the screen says there should. Also I have a my.cnf and ny.ini file in the proper places and I still have nothing going. I am confused and the manual I am finding is not clear enough on this. I included what the my.cnf and my.ini file looks like. And also included the error I am getting after installation. Also after MYSQL is installed should there not be some icons for things related to it, because I don't even have them. I am trying to install this on 2003 Server Standard Edition and have IIS 6 and TCP/IP installed. Please help.
