Description:
When i try to install and configure mysql server on my computer, I got this error while configuring it.

mysql-server-5.5-win32:100 - Unable to configure service.

I tried to:

 C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin>mysqld --defaults-file="C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5"  --standalone --console

and nothing happens.

How to repeat:
I am attempting to download and install MySql.

There are seven steps listed on the left hand side:
Licence Information
Find Latest Products
Setup Type
Check Requirements
Installation
Configuration
Complete

I selected all the defaults for developer set up.  All goes well until the Configuration step, at which point I get the error listed above.

Thank you for the bug report. Please check using Control Panel if the service was created and its status. If the service wasn't created thn try the below command:

mysqld --defaults-file=the_path_for\my.ini --standalone --console

print here the messages. Thanks.

The system cannot find any *.ini files in the MySQL folder, its wierd. It seems the installer doesnt copy that file into MySQL folder. Anyways I had to solve this issue very fast so I installed MySQL 5.1 to my computer and it did not give any errors.
