Hello,
First off I would like to say that all firewalls are off.

I am currently attempting to install the new SQL 5.0 server on my work PC. I have gone to the website and gotten it from : http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.0.html

I downloaded
Windows (x86) 5.0.20a 37.1M


Anyways, after I download it and run using the setup.exe in the zip file I go to the configuration. I get to a windown that says "MySQL Server Instance Configuration" and I get 3 buttons to click on the bottom
1) <back
2) Execute
3) Cancel

So I click the execute

It works for the "prepare configuration"
It works for the Write congifuration file"
It Fails on Start service

The error it reads is "the service could not be started. Error: 0"

I have gone into the docuementation and cannot find any error:0
The server side errors all start with 1000
The client side errors all start with 2000

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this working?


Thanks for your help
