Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
I downloaded 4.1.0-alpha source and maked them. That worked after some correktions (removed c-latin1de.c from make descriptions, fixed some 'int i' multiple defined bug). but trying to start the mysql service run into an error 1067. I did exectly what is described in \docs\manual.html

C:\mysql\bin>mysqld --install
Service successfully installed.

C:\mysql\bin>net start mysql
The MySql service is starting.
The MySql service could not be started.

A system error has occurred.

System error 1067 has occurred.

The process terminated unexpectedly.

How to repeat:
compile and try to start the service afterwards.

The compiler reported issues are already reported and for complementary
actions please read the bug #312 how to enable the support of utf8.

The start problem is another issue: the server has aborted for some
reason that you can find trying to start it as standalone:

mysqld --standalone --console

Take a look in the error messages.

for complementary instructions please read:

http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Windows_source_build.html

The problem occurs with 4.0.16, too. There only, if the service-name is not default.
I changed my 4.1.0-alpha- source the following:

NTService::Install()
Add 
    lstrcat( szFilePath, " " );
    lstrcat( szFilePath, szInternName );
before calling CreateService() (file-line 129).
Change
			szFullPath,	//exec full path
to
			szFilePath,	//exec full path + service-name
when calling CreateService() (file-line 140).

Maybe you normally use other then lstrcat(). Wrote it down just
to prevent you from searching the code:)
