This is a release of MySQL for Win32. NOTE: If you on NT install MySQL in any other folder than C:\MYSQL and you intented to start MySQL as a service, you must create a file named C:\MY.CNF with the following information: [mysqld] basedir=E:/installation-path/ After your have installed MySQL, the installation directory will contain a file named 'my-example.cnf'. You can use this as a starting point for your own C:\my.cnf file. If you have any problems, you can mail them to win32@lists.mysql.com after you have consulted the MySQL manual and the MySQL mailing list archive (http://www.mysql.com/doc.html) One behalf of the TcX gang, Michael Widenius
