I am using Windows 7 and want to install mysql with correct version from internet but once i download message i am getting during the un-zip of downloaded file..either file is corrupted..
what should i do now ?
if any one knows please let me know the correct version to download mysql..also url or any link.
I'm not sure about the Windows 7 but have you checked the integrity (MD5 checksum) of the file downloaded? I suggest you verify that first as stated in the bottom of this page.
Look in the management console (right-click My Computer, select Manage) and the logs (the application log, I think). It should have an error entry or two from mysql - that should tell you what the issue is.
I am running Windows 7, both 32-bit and 64-bit, on several computers and have MySQL installed and running just fine on all of them.
i am getting the same error while re-installing again !
I did not use Windows 7 but you can go to the User management link in the control panel and it will show your status.
But otherwise, if you are using the db for short periods of time then I suggest to use the zip version of the applicaton and you could run the db when ever you want...or better still get XAMPP, it comes with mysql bundled and a good system tray icon to manage the MySQL and other applications it bundles.
