Incidentally, just to give specs, I'm currently running vmware workstation 10, windows 7 ultimate x64 with sp1, allocating 8gb of ram to the vm, with 2x dualcore cpus to the vm (I have plenty of hardware on the host machine). 60gb virtual hard drive. I am not patching in any way before the install of mysql. This is as fresh as it gets off the win7 install disc (an ISO I got through my MSDN subscription).
