The above sounds like InnoDB found the data and log files with size
different than it try to start, for example you created the existing
ones different values than the default or vice-versa.

Start the server from a command prompt:

mysqld-nt --standalone --console

and take a look in the error message.

The above is a wrong message since the registry value which winmysqladmin
tries to search aren't used anymore. That tool is deprecated.
