The problem is that somehow MySQL doesn't find the path to mysqld!
This works for me on my NT SP3 machine :(
Do you have a C:\my.cnf file ?
You can problaby solve the above with any of the following solutions:
- Install mysqld with full path:
C:\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt --install
- Create a my.cnf file with the following information:
[mysqld]
basedir=C:/mysql/
I shall add more information to mysqld trace log to find out exactly
what is going on if this happens for someone else.!
