http://www.mysql.com/doc/W/i/Windows_installation.html says this:

NOTE: If you want to use InnoDB tables, there are certain startup 
options that must be specified in your `my.ini' file! See section 
8.7.2 InnoDB startup options.

http://www.mysql.com/doc/I/n/InnoDB_start.html (section 8.7.2) discusses
some options you should try, to make the message you're seeing go away.
