Install v5.0.4 as Service WinXP-Problems

After having MySQL 3.23 installed, I upgraded to 5.0, but having
problems with the service. I did not do a full uninstall and its not
clear, if I should have or not.
However as many Windows (WinXP) users know, the existing service needs
to be modified and point to the new MySQL. I was able to use 'sc' to
modify the service, and even specify --defaults-file to point to my new
'my.ini' at C:\MySQL50\my.i ni

I'm still getting stuck and ther service aborts, on startup when the
system is trying to reference the old area [guessing here] and trying
to find C:\MySQL\share\ errmsg.en

How can I change this, and get the service up and running ??

mysqld Or
mysqld-nt ??

Re: WinXP install of the MySQL 5.0.4 Beta
Still curious ....

I'm trying to run the mysqld as an automatic Service that starts up
when windows, actually WinXP starts up.

I've edited the service using "sc" to point to the new location
C:\MySQL50 (March beta). But I'm not getting it to start correctly.
The latest error shows up in .err file:

InnoDB: Error: log file .\ib_logfile0 is of different size 0 10485760
bytes
InnoDB: than specified in the .cnf file 0 5242880 bytes!

.... ???
I've removed all old cfg files my.ini, etc and only have 1 now
under C:\MySQL50\ relevant excerpt:
innodb_log_file _size=10M
and so is the size of the file (looks consistent)
06/10/2005 12:00 PM 10,485,760 ib_logfile0

I see my-medium.ini and my-small.ini both use 5M but only listed as
comments, as they stand now.
MySQL is either reading the wrong cfg file or has some parameters,
built in to it. Can I get a little help ?

ps: I'm also posting on best ways to use MySQLAdmin and whether / how
it should run. (Previously stayed in systray). Not sure how to keep
it running/visible.

I can start mysqld in a console, but still am not able to start it as
a service.

Hi, I developped a Windows Service in VB.NET (2005). I need to have it installed two times on 1 machine. When I want to install it a second time, the setup doesn't allow me to install it again in an other directory, but only to repair or remove the other version. I get arround this by simply copying the files of the first installed in a second directory.

I hope this is in the correct newsgroup. I have purchased and installed Visual Studio .Net 2003 under XP Professional. However, when I try to look at a VB.net sample web app, it will not open.

Hi; How are we supposed to handle this. It appears that this must be run on a system for an ASP.NET app to run. On WinXP we are finding that the user ASPNET does not exist until this is run. However, running this impacts all existing ASP.NET apps and sets the default ..NET for all new ones. So if we run this we can screw up all the ASP.NET apps already on a system.

hello, I'm still in the transition of going from MatLab to Scipy, and installed previous week a SciPy on a PC twice, through the new "Enstaller". It's a pitty that there will be no old installer versions anymore (although I can understand why). Although I succeeded, the behavior of the Enstaller was different both times, and you can clearly see it's an alpha version.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
