I have been trying to install MySQL on my Win XP Pro system. I have tried to install it and at 99% complete i always get the error message:

- the instruction at "0x00000000" refered memory at "0x00000000" the memory could not be "read"

I have no idea what this means and i am open to sugestions

Does you XP account have admin priveledges?

Do you have another version of MySQL running in the background? As a service?

Do you have port 3306 blocked by a firewall?

... just some suggestions...
