Please ignore:

SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'basedir';

/*

Variable_name  Value                                         
-------------  ----------------------------------------------
basedir        C:/Program Files (x86)/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.5/
*/

Plase forget!

SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'basedir';
/*

Variable_name  Value                                         
-------------  ----------------------------------------------
basedir        C:/Program Files (x86)/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.5/
*/
