Description:
Cannot connect to MySQL server after fresh install. 
Configure Instance fails on the 4th step as cannot connect (10061)
Checked NETSTAT and it is not listening at all.
Command line client can connect fine
Checked mysql.user tables and root is there to connect from % host

How to repeat:
- Install server on machine with all windows updates, and firewall completely disabled (server has DC, DNS, DHCP, IIS, FTP, WINS roles)
- run the instance configuration
- fails at final step

Suggested fix:
- Stopped MySQL service
- Added the following to the [mysqld] section of my.ini
  bind-address=0.0.0.0
- Started MySQL service

Please, send the content of MySQL server's error log (usually this is <hostname>.err file in the datadir).
