+ To ensure that the MySQL server knows where to look for the
+ <filename>my.ini</filename> file, an argument similar to this
+ is passed to the MySQL server as part of the service
+ installation:
+ </para>
+
+<programlisting>
+--defaults-file="<replaceable>C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server
¤t-series;</replaceable>\my.ini"
+</programlisting>
+
+ <para>
+ Here, <replaceable>C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server
+ ¤t-series;</replaceable> is replaced with the
+ installation path to the MySQL Server. The
+ <option>--defaults-file</option> option instructs the MySQL
+ server to read the specified file for configuration options
