Description:
I installed your windows 4.1.3 beta and 5.0 versions and both do not mysqld.exe binary to run as you say in your documentation. There is mysql-max.exe. It is important to atleast get your documenation on setting up mysql correct. if this is a first impression, then you guys realy suck on that when the first thing you say we should do is run a program that does not exist

How to repeat:
well, just installed your software and tried to start mysqld.exe but could not find it anywhere in c:\mysql\bin folder. Is this clear enough for you?

For the version 4.1.3 the servers are:

C:\mysql-4.1.3b-beta-win\bin>dir mysqld-*.exe
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is C447-4774

 Directory of C:\mysql-4.1.3b-beta-win\bin

Please use  mysqld-debug.exe instead of mysqld.exe. This rename change
isn't documented in our Manual.

For the version 5.0.0 actually the debug server version wasn't shipped with
the release package.

C:\mysql-5.0.0-alpha\bin>dir mysqld-*.exe
