there is no my-medium.ini file … in 5.0.92, 5.1.56 or in the latest 5.5.9 … download all three archives, extracted … went to configure the my-medium.ini and none can be found … searched each folder and nothing … i assume this “how-to” pertains to the version mentioned, 5.0.45 … sooo, going to use the installer version.

Great article. It seems installing mysql with the msi installer is easy. You don’t have to type commands etc while installing.

MySQL is a relational database management system (RDBMS)which has more than 11 million installations. The program runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases. This cannot be installed client-side. It must be installed by someone who has administrative rights on the server side.
