i had a C:\MySQL installation before, not a real one but some  
pythonmysql-installaion i did before.

i just downloaded and installed mysql 5.1 and when i configure on the  
last point(apply security settings) i get error 1045: Access denied.  
port 3306 cant be blocked by the firewall because i dont have the  
firewall on.

now i try again and get error 1146 mysql.servers doesnt exist.

MySQL is located in c:\programfiles as well, should it be directly in  
c:\ or it doesnt matter?
