To replicate: 1. Start with a machine running Pentium 4, Windows XP Pro.
2. Map a "New Network Place" to: \\somecomputer\C$ Where \\somecomputer contains an install, in the root directory, (i.e. C:\mysql,) of mysql already. The remote install in this case was version 3.23.56. 3. Attempt to install mysql in the C:\mysql directory of the local machine. Somehow the installer locates the install at \\somecomputer\C$\mysql and points the NT service at THAT binary, not the one installed locally. I woudn't mention this, except that it's SO odd... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
