Sean,Let me get this straight. The problem is when you installed MySQL forWindows from the .msi installer, you didn't install the server. (So inthe wizard setp with all the white hard-drive icons, you selected thinstall the client programs and possibly the development files. Notthe "MySQL Server") You needed to select the "Server" to get a runningMySQL installation. When you say "that is not an option", why? (Didthe installer not ask you or did you not want to because ofsecurity/other reasons?) If you did indeed select to install theserver, a Database Cluster Initialization Wizard should have popped upsometime during the install. Oh, and Linus is right in that "mysql -h"doesn't accept localhost, use 127.0.0.1 instead. Once the server isinstalled, "net start mysql" to make sure it is running. You'regetting really close, so hang on!
