MySQL side-by-side error fixing while Running Instance Configuration Wizard
To install MySQL Server 5.0 in Windows Vista
- Disable the UAC in Windows Control Panel->User Accounts (See the screen shot below)
Windows Vista UAC turn off - Run the MySQL setup i.e. Use mysql-essential-5.0.51a-win32.msi
- In the final step uncheck “Configure MySQL Server now”
- Download and run Resource Hacker http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/
- Open …\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\MySQLInstanceConfig.exe with Resource Hacker
- Navigate to 24\1\1033
- Change
<requestedExecutionLevel level=”asAdministrator” uiAccess=”false”>
to
<requestedExecutionLevel level=”requireAdministrator” uiAccess=”false”> - Press “Compile script”
- Exit Resource Hacker and save the result (overwrite the initial MySQLInstanceConfig.exe)
- Now MySQLInstanceConfig.exe should start normally.
- Configure the server.
- Sometimes the server doesn’t start:
a) Check Windows Firewall settings (3306/TCP)
b) Try changing the compability mode for the file …\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\mysqld-nt.exe to Windows XP-SP2. - 13. That’s all.
