installing under XP pro

Amy
Hello,

Ok, I downloaded the windows installation last night -
mysql-4.0.16-win.zip - unzipped it to c:\ms, double clicked on setup.exe and
nothing.... nothing happened at all....

Bad download I though, so tried the same thing with the .zip of
version 3.25.55 I had - the downlaod that I used once before, before my
recent re-format - so I knew that it did work once, but this time, same
problem. The setup.exe just doesn't do anything...

err... help! I've read one installation faq, but it didn't help...
any advice?

I really want to learn mySQL, but if I can't even install the thing,
it doesn't look good!

Many thanks,

Amy :-)

Focus your attention on WinXP. File permissions, user, etc. Are you
installing as administrator?
