probably you've downloaded mysql-3.23.47-win.zip. This is a quick, very basic way of installing it.
3 & 4) you may skip these steps if you've installed mysql in c:\mysql
if you change the datadir copy the contents of the original datadir to the new one
- extract it
- run the contained setup.exe (self-explainary)
- copy my-example.cnf to c:\ and rename it to my.cnf
- edit my.cnf remove # from
- #basedir = d:/mysql/ basedir - is what you typed in as installation directory during setup
- #datadir = d:/mysql/data/ - datadir you may choose freely but make sure the directory exists when you start up your mysql-server and use / instead of \
- install mysql as service: from the commandline in <mysql-basedir>\bin you call 'mysql-nt.exe -install' or 'mysqld-max-nt.exe -install'
