Recently I downloaded the latest version of MySQL for
32-bit, installed it. No errors installing it. When I
go to run it though, all it does is flash a DOS-like
window for a fraction of a second and that's it.
Okay, here is what I am doing and the operating system
info... I am running XP Home Addition with SP3. In the
windows explorer, i am double-clicking on the mysql.exe
file when this oocurs.
Does MySQL require that you be in a CMD shell? Or run
in DOS?
(The DOS-like window lasts a little longer in a CMD shell,
but still does nothing, even for mysqladmin.exe,
mysqlmanager.exe, and mysqltest.exe.)
The files I installed were:
mysql-5.1.50-win32.msi
mysql-essential-5.1.50-win32.msi
Is it a memory issue?
