Description:
While installing a brand new server on my computer using Mysql Administrator
I am unable to configure most of the settings available in the GUI
I try to install Mysql Server 4.0.20a on Windows XP Service Pack 1 French edition.

I this a wrong use, or a real problem ?

thanks.

How to repeat:
I create a very small c:\my.cnf file
---------------------------------------------------
[client]
port		= 3306
[mysqld]
port		= 3306
---------------------------------------------------

Then I run Mysql Administrator
1- Install a new service, with InnoDB support
    Change config filenaname to c:\my.cnf (color change from red to black)
    Start the service sucessfully
2- Reconnect
3- Goto Startup Variable
    InnoDB Parameters
     Activate InnoDB checkbox is checked, but I cannot change anything else : Memory, datafile, logfiles are all grayed
     Almost all other parameters are grayed and unavailable

You have to explicit enable each parameter you want to set by clicking the icon to the very left of each parameter. Please notice the small red X if a parameter is disabled.

This prevents from unintentionally changing server parameters and defines which values will actually be written to the .cnf file.
