Description:
Hi

I am installing mysql 5.7.13 with file: mysql-5.7.13-winx64.msi on Windows Server 2008 SP2. The installer successfully installed Mysql on my Server. But the installer seems only copy some files to the destination folder, didn't do any configuration. So I had to initialize manually. When I go to DOS, and run command: mysqld --initialize --user=mysql --console, it complained error something like: unable locate entry point tryAcquireSRWLockExclusive on KERNEL32.dll. Failed to initialize Mysql and install Mysql service. 

How to fix this problem?

Thanks.
