Windows 7 and Installing MySql ...

[Quientus]

I always run installation programmes as admin, and that doesn't seem to be what is I'm doing wrong so far ...

My problem shows up, when I have to execute after installing MySql ...

For some reason it just doesn't want to complete, and I've tried different MySql versions so far ...

After each removal I clean out the registry with regedit (maybe there are other files pertaining to mysql that are not labelled mysql xxx etc etc ?).

I've tried to follow the walk through to the letter, but can't figure out what version that will enable me to do it ...

What about the emu revisions ? - could that be a factor too ?

Anyways I'm glad for the feedback so far ... Guess I'm just going to have to keep on trucking lol !

At first after installing retail 64bit win7 this week, and mysql,(latest 32bit release) the service also failed to start. I removed mysql and installed a older version, and the service started as it should. No idea why, but it was also hard to setup accounts for some odd reason because the installer kept on making root access accounts..

Anyway try to install an older version and go from there.

i had this issue once before and found it was my nortons protection blocking it. once i turned off nortons, it ran fine.
