Installing MySQL on Windows
Last modified: March 7, 2009 - 19:43
- After downloading the latest stable release version of MySQL, locate the setup.exe, and execute it. When prompted choose custom install.
- Choose a path to install it. I recommend keeping to the default, which is c:\mysql.
- Select all components, and continue until done.
- Go to the MySQL folder, and start winmysqladmin.exe
- Choose a username and password for yourself.
- In the console, click on the my.ini tab, and choose "create shortcut in startmenu" option.
- In the my.ini tab, also chck that all the configurable options are correct in accordance to your computer.
- Close the admin console and restart it. If admin program runs with a green light, everything fine.
If you'd like to do an Apache, PHP and MySQL install on XP or Vista you can also download XAMMP from http://www.apachefriends.org for a quick full install.

hi
Not many drupalaers use windows so bear in mind that there will be less support (eyeballshttp://forums.mysql.com/read.php?35,18981,18981#msg-18981
However, at http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?35,18981,28509#msg-28509 you can download the program. Since that thread is 3 years old, I am sure there is a better way of installing MySQL / Drupal on windows.

XAMPP
The easiest way to get everything (Apache, PHP and MySQL) on a Windows machine (XP and Vista) is to use XAMPP from Apache friends. It's installed in a few minutes and you can start developing right away. Give it a try.

wrong word
the word "chck" in the 7th item should be "check".
