Installing MySQL on Windows
MySQL supports most versions of Windows, including Windows 98, with some limitations. When running under Windows 98 there is no support for named pipes because named pipes are not available to the operating system, and there is no support for the installation of the database as a service. The database can be started automatically as part of the operating system startup process, but it then runs as the current user. The process described here is for Windows NT, 2000, and XP. Installing MySQL under Windows is a three-step process:
1. Download and Unzip the binary distribution.
2. Run the setup program.
3. Start the database.
