Here's the link I used to install my Eqemu when I first started out;

ok this is a shot in the dark here, but I used to get that error if my My.ini wasnt in the windows root folder... did you do that?

hmm I wish I could recall what causes the 1067 I believe that was it, but ... well I cant recall (I used to have the error constantly, then once I got the damn thing to work correctly I did an .ACE of the installed folder and thats what I use to reinstall now *lol*)

I had the same mistake...

This problem occurs when you have or had another version of mysql installed.
Normaly you should be able to launch the winmysqladmin. Doesn't matter if it turns red...
Then right click on the traffic light and select "Remove the service"
Once it's done uninstall all your mysql stuff... reboot and reinstall it...

This should work...

If not just run regedit and delete every single key refering to mysql...

Delete the mysql directory and reinstall
