What exact version of MySQL server, x.y.z, are you creating instance for? Do you have Windows service created for it?

Server version: 5.1.41
It is not running as a Windows Service.  MySQL is running as part of a XAMPP 1.7.3 install.

Then this is probably a duplicate of Bug #59578. Please, create Windows service for your server as a workaround.
