Problems with mysql installation on Windows 7? Have been there…
Hi Folks!
Today I run into an interesting problem with installation of MySQL on my new Windows 7 / 64bit.
MySQL just didn’t want to be installed! And stopped during confuguration process.
Tried many things, googled for solution, but in most of the cases people said something like this “as this is not your first installation, please go and find files, bla bla bla… then delete “some” files.”.
THIS IS MY FIRST INSTALLATION! No files are created YET!
Well… solution is quite simple actually: SWITCH OFF YOUR WINDOWS FIREWALL (in my case it was Norton Internet Security) during installation.
Hope this might help somebody one day.
