mysql setup problem

i have downloaded mysql-3.23.47-win.zip, and extracted it's content to a folder. The problem occurs when i double-click setup.exe; absolutely nothing happens - the installer does not start.

in task manager, both wowexec.exe and setup.exe are listed whom i suspect is related to the mysql setup-file, but it is impossible to end any of the processes, and thus i'm unable to install mysql.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

best regards,
kenneth

OS and version? Have you tried downloading another copy (just in case). If you have virus scanning software running this might interfere with the setup program.

os: winxp pro, and i've tried installing both the lates release of mysql, in addition to the one i mentioned in my initial post; both behave the same way, but i will, however, try to disable norton antivirus and see how it goes from there :)

thanks :)
