Hi!
The problem is that all options in my.cnf are now in effect for all
MySQL programs.
Try changing my.cnf to:
[mysqld]
basedir = e:/mysql/
tmpdir = e:/mysql/temp/
Note that if mysqld doesn't start, there should be a 'mysqld.err' file
somewhere (c:\mysql or e:\mysql) with the reason why mysqld didn't start!
Regards,
Monty
