Description:
Hello I am an IT-student and need to create a database for my final exam.
What happens to the MySQL Server I have installed on a Windows 2000 Professional (SP4) is that sometimes on startup (OS) the service (MySQL) does not start even though I chose automatically startup in both (OS and MySQL Admin).
When looking under Windows\services I was supprised, that the .exe-file related to MySQL service was a different than in MySQL\bin-directory. After renaming mysqld-nt.exe to mysqld-max-nt.exe the Service could be started again from both (OS and MySQL Admin).
But that is not a proper way I guess, if anybody also had such problems I would be looking forward for other solutions or bugfixes.

thanks and see you roy

How to repeat:
Don't know.

Suggested fix:
See description.

Do you have MySQL server installed before?
Seems you installed service MySQL when mysqld-max-nt.exe was included into windows distribution. Currently MySQL distribution includes only mysqld.exe and mysqld-nt.exe servers.
