Description:
I run the install software and set the service name to "Mysql 5.1"
The install software set the service run command to:
"c:\mysql51\bin\mysqld" --defaults-file="c:\mysql51\my.ini" MySQL 5.1
and the service can't start.

I use regedit and change this command to this:
"c:\mysql51\bin\mysqld" --defaults-file="c:\mysql51\my.ini" "MySQL 5.1"
and the service is running after restart.

How to repeat:
I try install without space and the install successfully completed but with space the install is stop with error while trying to start service at end page of install software.

Thank you for the bug report.

I noted that in one of my reports 1-2 years back too.

Thank you for the bug report. We are closing this report now for two related reasons:

* MySQL Server 5.1 is EOL as of Jan 2014
* For newer 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
