I found out that, even if I changed the data directory in the Instanceconfigurator that didn't work. I'm using a non-default data-dir. After changing the line in my*.ini to the right directory he flawlessy started and it works. This didn't happen in earlier versions of MySQL. Regards, Wessel

I think you should just cancel the configuration wizard (uncheck the box) when installing over an older version. There is nothing to configure. You are configured! I have my datadir on :D\mysqldb5 and I never had problems when doing as above. Maybe the installer should have an option "use old configuration file" or something like it.

Posted by developer: Thank you for the bug report. We are closing this report now for two related reasons: * MySQL Server versions 4.1 and 5.0 are obsolete. * For recent MySQL Server versions, the config wizard is no longer available, and the MySQL Installer for Windows is the recommended way to install MySQL Server on Windows.
