Description:
On Windows 7 rc build 7100, version 5.1.35 fails to start.

A standard Win message is returned: "mysqld.exe is not a valid Win32 application" while in the console an "Access is denied" error is returned.

No errors are returned with oldier versions of the branch (e.g. 5.1.30, 5.1.34) or with versions 5.0.82-enterprise and 6.0.11-alpha.

I am testing MySQL on Windows 7 since a long time now, and it seems this is a specific problem of version 5.1.35 only.

My archive seems ok since I've installed the same pck on Vista, with no special problems.

How to repeat:
1) Download the "unzip-in-c" pck
2) Unzip the pck and try the following command:

mysqld.exe --defaults-file="C:\MySQL\mysql-5.1.35-win32\my-small.ini" --log -P51351

Which Windows 7 OS version is 32-bit or 64-bit?. Thanks in advance.

32 bit

64 bit 5.0.35 MySQL server installs fine on my Win7 RC 64 bit.

Thank you for the feedback.

We can not repeat describe behavior. Please try with new version 5.1.39 and if problem still exists provide error log file (start server with --log-error option) and indicate which mirror did you use.

can't repeat with latest version of the server (5.1.39).
