You don't give us which version of windows you are using. The current version of MySQL is 5.0.18 so I am guessing that you tried to install version 5.0.5. If so, here are some ideas: The 5.0.x series has a windows help file in the docs directory of the installation. All versions include an HTML manual in the docs directory. The manual is about 4 MB and a very good starting point for almost any problem. You should find your documentation and read the install section. You should also download the 5.0.18 binary (http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.0.html) I recommend that you download and install the MySQL Administrator (http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/administrator/index.html) and MySQL Query Browser (http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/query-browser/1.1.html) and use these programs vice the command line once you have started MySQL as a windows service. Probably the initial mistake was you should use '-u root' vice '-u admin'. Also look through the archives of this list - several other people with similar problems have had them addressed here with quite a bit of helpful advice. If you still need help after you have read the instructions, then tell us what version of windows you are using, and whether you used the zip file or the msi version binary to do the install. -----Original Message----- From: Scott Purcell [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, March 09, 2006 12:28 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Install 5.5 Assistance Needed Hello, New user to Mysql 5.5. I did the complete install, and I entered a username, and password for this service. The install went smooth, but when I try and start working on the command line, I get the following error? There is no readme inside the install folder? Can anyone give me some advice?
