Description:
=== Bug ====
Installing MySQL 5.6.10 on windows 8 64bit

CMD> SET SERVICE_NAME=mysql
CMD> SET MYSQL_HOME=D:\MySQL\server
CMD> %MYSQL_HOME%\bin\mysqld.exe --remove %SERVICE_NAME%
CMD> %MYSQL_HOME%\bin\mysqld.exe --install-manual %SERVICE_NAME% --defaults-file=%MYSQL_HOME%\my.ini
CMD> net start mysql ; always failed to start mysql service

When try to start mysql by this command
CMD>%MYSQL_HOME%\bin\mysqld --default-file=%MYSQL_HOME%\my.ini --standalone --console

Mysql keep showing this message
2013-04-06 14:16:18 2248 [ERROR] Can't find messagefile 'D:\MySQL erver hare\errmsg.sys'

How to repeat:
Reinstall from scratch removing option lc-messages-dir=D:\MySQL\\server\\share from .cnf or .ini defaults file

Suggested fix:
This error is removed and the service started fine after adding this option unnder [mysqld] section
[mysqld]
lc-messages-dir=D:\MySQL\\server\\share
lc-messages=en_US

=== Fix ===
you have to include lc-messages-dir=D:\MySQL\\server\\share with extra slashe before messing characters from the path reported in error message
i.e:

this path:
D:\MySQL\server\share

will give this error:
[ERROR] Can't find messagefile 'D:\MySQL erver hare\errmsg.sys'

Fix:
Change 
D:\MySQL\server\share

To Become
D:\MySQL\\server\\share
