I noticed that recent versions of the ('integrated') .msi installer places my.ini at C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\my.ini (on Vista and above - on XP it is something like \Application Data\All Users\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6 .. I believe) and not in installation folder (thanks for that BTW!). The command in 'properties' of the Start Menu entry on my Win7 system reads "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin\mysql.exe" "--defaults-file=C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\my.ini" "-uroot" "-p" .. and it works fine.

I think the command on XP should be something like (as far as I remember) "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin\mysql.exe" "--defaults-file=C:\Application Data\All Users\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\my.ini" "-uroot" "-p" I also think I read that XP and 2003 is not officially supported with MySQL 5.6 (what I do not understand). But still I think it is possible to use a placeholder that will resolve to "Application Data\All Users" on XP/2003 and "ProgramData" on Vista+ Windows.

Thank you for the bug report. XP isn't more supported for this MySQL version. http://www.mysql.com/support/supportedplatforms/database.html
