Please verifiy where you have your my.ini file: c:\windows\my.ini or C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQLServer 5.0\my.ini or both. and use only one and verify the correct path for basedir and datadir. Thanks in advance.

I'm on Windows 98SE and the same thing happens to me. Nothing to do with the paths although, I've tried using the language parameter mysqld --language [filepathandname] I tried to copy the errmsg.sys file even in the root directory and then did mysqld --language c:\ It said that "C:\errmsg.sys" did not exist, but in fact it DOES exist. This problem occurs even with the file in its original path, I've just moved it to root directory to make sure it wasn't an invalid path problem... I don't have a clue.

I only have c:\windows\my.ini, and it contains correct paths. There is no my.ini in C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQLServer 5.0

Could you please see in your my.ini file if the keys basedir and datardir are pointing for correct paths? i.e: basedir="C:/Program Files/MySQL/MySQLServer 5.0" datadir="C:/Program Files/MySQL/MySQLServer 5.0/data" notice if you open a DOS prompt in the install bin directory the server should be able to start: mysqld --standalone --console

I have already said that the paths are correct, and the program searches for the correct file in the correct directory, and the file exists, but it gives me this error. The paths are absolutely ok...

Hello, The path entries point to the correct dirs. I tried both the slash-separated and the double-backslash-separated format. Thanks, Peter

However, I think the problem is due to a path fixedly implemented into the MySQL-runtime anywhere. I changed the path in the basedir- and datadir-statements in the my.ini to ... MySQL_server_5.0 ...but still the error message comes up saying "Can't find message file C;\programme\mysql\mysql server 5.0\share\english\errmsg.sys", i.e. without underscores!! When changing directories using the MS-DOS-prompting possibility you cannot say either c:>cd ... mysql server 5.0 ... Though the path is corrctly displayed in the prompting-statement: C:\programme\mysql\mysql server 5.0\bin ... the cd-command comes up with a mistake after the "c:>cd ... mysql server 5.0 ..."-command. It cannot cope with the blanks in the path-name. From that it may be concluded that Windows ME (and its predecessors Windows 98 and 95) cannot cope with the path-directions. And these seem to be built in in the Mysql-kernel.

This problem still exists on Windows 98. I just downloaded 5.0.24-community-nt for win32 on ia32 today.

I have also reproduced this bug in Windows 98 SE. The message is: Z:\usr\local\mysql5\bin>mysqld.exe 071110 18:48:57 [ERROR] Can't find messagefile 'C:\WEBSER~1\USR\LOCAL\MYSQL5\share\english\errmsg.sys' 071110 18:48:57 [ERROR] Aborting This path is correct, file exists. I used filemon th watch what files are used during the mysql startup and noticed that C:\WEBSER~1\USR\LOCAL\MYSQL5\share\english directory is checked (with status Success), but the file errmsg.sys is never requested (no filemon row for that file exists, so mysqld.exe never opens nor checks this file). The version is: Z:\usr\local\mysql5\bin>mysqld.exe --version C:\WEBSER~1\USR\LOCAL\MYSQL5\BIN\MYSQLD.EXE Ver 5.0.45-community-nt for Win32 on ia32 (MySQL Community Edition (GPL)) This bug is NOT reproducible in Windows XP.

The reason you get the same error in 5.0.41 and 5.0.45 is unrelated to the original problem. There was a packaging flaw in 5.0.41 and 5.0.45 where the "mysqld.exe" was an exact copy of "mysqld-nt.exe", i.e. the version that doesn't work for Windows 98/ME. If you run "mysqld.exe --version" you will see that it identifies itself as "Ver 5.0.45-community-nt", the non 98/ME version. Also "mysqld.exe" and "mysqld-nt.exe" has the same MD5 checksum. This should be corrected in the next 5.0 release.
