Re: Cannot start as NT service

[Christopher R. Jones]

I uninstalled mysql, edited the registry, deleted all files, then
reinstalled.  I copied the my-example.cnf to c:\ and used
c:\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt --install, rebooted.  All to no avail.  I still
cannot start mysqld-nt as a service.

So then I tried on my laptop which is also NT.  It has never had mysql
installed.  Again, no luck.

Should I go back to the shareware version until a new version comes out?
