Thanks, Matt - I managed by unzipping it all to a new directory then
renaming the directories so that the new one was c:\mysql and the old one
became c:\mysql_4017, then run the mysql_fix_privilege_tables script.
Cheers
Terry

Sharma and Terry,
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.
HTH,
Matt

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

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?
Regards
