Description:
After installing MySql Server 4.1 & attempting to run the Configuration wizzard it aborts at the last step when I click execute saying it can't start the service.
Prepare configuration & write configuration file works fine but the start service aborts.
The error says 'Cannot create Windows service for MySql. Error 0

How to repeat:
Run the installion wizard, then run the configuration wizard & execute at the end.

I wasn't able to repeat this issue.

Additional Info:

Verify in Control Panel -> Services if actually the service not exists.
If exists look in the service properties if the image path is the same
as the configuratiom wizard tried to install, in this case you can to
remove it issuing from a DOS prompt:

mysqld-nt --remove
or
mysqld-nt --remove "service_name"

and try to run again the configuration wizard.
