Hey,

I'm having similar problem, I cannot start the MySql!

I have looked at the service 'mysql' next to Path to Executable:

D:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt.exe --defaults-file=D:\xampp\mysql\bin\my.cnf mysql

However I cannot find my.cnf mysql in D:\xampp\mysql\bin\

I am totally cluecless and new to this any help is appreciated.

Thank you,

Zak

- open a command prompt
- execute this command: "sc delete mysql"
- reinstall the service with "mysql_installservice.bat"
try again.

That worked!

Thank you,

Zak
