Hi all

please go through this one and help me.

i have been trying to using mysqld --install with all options in my.ini
our requirement is with out my.ini & my.cnf,
our aim is to start mysql as an automatic service.

For this one we are using
windows 2000,
mysql 4.0.12
we are tring to building an installer with InstallAnywhere
here $USER_MAGIC_FOLDER_4$ is Mysql installation directory.

I am tring to execute this one as a service at command prompt at installation time.
$USER_MAGIC_FOLDER_4$$/$mysql$/$bin$/$mysqld --install --port=3306 --skip-external-locking --default-character-set=latin1
--key_buffer_size=16M --thread_stack=128K --flush_time=1800
--basedir=$USER_MAGIC_FOLDER_4$$/$mysql
--innodb_data_home_dir=$USER_MAGIC_FOLDER_4$$/$mysql$/$data
--innodb_data_file_path= ibdata:200M:autoextend
--innodb_buffer_pool_size=140M
-- innodb_additional_mem_pool_size=21M
--max_allowed_packet=1G

·I tried with --datadir=$USER_MAGIC_FOLDER_4$$/$mysql$/$data
and
--innodb_data_home_dir=$USER_MAGIC_FOLDER_4$$/$mysql$/&data

but same errors.

3. After Installation

i) Mysql is apearing at services, but i tried to start that service then it is going to terminate with 1067 error
ii) At command prompt
a. mysql\bin>mysqld --insta
i am getting these mesages:

The service started Successfully
or
The Service already exists!
The current server installed : mysql\bin> mysqld --install.

b. mysql\bin>mysql
Error 2003 :Can't connect to MySql server on 'localhost' <10061>


iii) In mysql\data\

hostname.err , it is creating when i tried to start Mysql service
