Description:
if I run
C:\MySQL\bin>mysqld-nt.exe --install MySQL --defaults-files="C:\MySQL\my.ini"

I get:
"Service successfully installed."

which is fine, but the registry is wrong and makes the service unable to start. Getting the dreaded 1067 service failure!

The registry is set to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MySQL\ImagePath:
C:\MySQL\bin\mysqld-nt.exe C:\MySQL\my.ini MySQL

in the old version of mysql I get the following registry:
"C:\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt" --defaults-file="C:\mysql\my.ini" "mysql"

How to repeat:
run:
C:\MySQL\bin>mysqld-nt.exe --install MySQL --defaults-files="C:\MySQL\my.ini"

check registry:

Thank you for the bug report. Verified just as described on XP. As a workaround, either use Instance Configuration Wizard or edit the registry entry manually.

      Bug #46917: mysqd-nt installs wrong
      
      When parsing the service installation parameter in 
      default_service_handling() make sure the value of the
      optional parameter doesn't overwrite it's name.
