Description:
I have noticed that when you have 2003 server as a PDC the Service wont stay running. 

As was my case with any ver of MySQL I installed.

How to repeat:
Install windows 2003 server and Promote to PDC then install any ver of MySQL and reboot.

The service starts then stops and wont stay running.

Suggested fix:
Look in your logon profile in the Windows sub folder and you will find the .ini files, it seems that some progs arnt saving the .ini files to the %system% folder and are saving them to your profile folder in stead. 

As was my case with any ver of MySQL I installed.

I was able to copy the .ini files to the %system% folder and reboot and the service now runs.

You may need to go into the Services and start the service for the first time.

The MySQL installer currently doesn't create the my.ini file
then I assume you have used some client tool ?. Also the
directory which is used for to save the my.ini file is the
windir (winnt\windows\custom_windir). What client tool you
used ?
