Hello!
I've been trying to install the MySQL Server for a couple of days now, but
I can't get it working on my computer. The "Instance configuration
wizard" always freezes between steps 2 and 3, just as described in the
first post in this thread:
http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?11,370130,370130#msg-370130
I've tried every step in their discussion, but nothing works for me.
This is:
1. The "unblocking" alternative on the installer (in properties).
2. Tried to run as administrator by right clicking on the .exe in the
folder.
3. I've tried both the 32- and 64-bit versions (I'm using 64-bit
Windows 7).
4. I've tried to start the service from the administration category in
my control panel. There it simply says "error: 1067 - Unexpected
error".
I have 40 GB of free space, of 900 GB total. Does that matter? I have a
pretty good system, in comparison with the requirements, so that sould
not be an issue.
Any help would be much appreciated. Do you know where I can find a log or something (to post on here so you can get the details)? I don't know where to look for logs...
Kind regards,
Jon
Edit: And one more issue is. I'm not sure whether I get totally rid of everything when uninstalling, I mean before I try again. I just use the uninstall button in my control panel and then try to install it again.
