 From %mysql_home%\bin try running it first in a cmd window  ...

mysqld-nt --console --log_warnings

or

mysqld-nt --standalone --log_warnings

Once it runs without errors, shut mysqld-nt down, eg by running

mysaladmin -uroot shutdown

from another cmd window, then install the service with ...

mysqld-nt -- install

after which it should auto-start at bootup.
