MySQL was installed as a part of SugarCRM Community edition. I'm sure I did something wrong because I was trying to adopt your instructions for Sugar. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It executed without any issues which makes me think that mysql under sugar is looking for a different username "mysqld.exe --defalts-file ="c:program filessugarcrm-5.2.0cmysqlmy.ini" --init-file=c:mysql-init.txt I followed your instructions but when I try to restart the service I get an error 1067.
