Description:
The windows config wizard does not take 32 bit heap limitations (2GB on windows) into account.  This means that installing the 32 bit package on 32/64 bit windows machines with lots of available memory causes the config wizard to create a my.ini file that causes mysql to fail to start.

How to repeat:
n/a

Suggested fix:
If the binary is 32 bit then deal with the 2G limitation.

Thank you for the bug report. We are closing this report now since the config wizard is no longer available in supported MySQL Server versions, and the MySQL Installer for Windows is the recommended way to install MySQL Server on Windows
