Does not require the effort to use the MSI file: Next, the next installation.
Just get the zip file (mysql-5.6.16-win32.zip) and you can use it after decompression.
1. Unzip the file, anywhere.
2. Go to the Bin directory, open a CMD window, execute: mysqld, the server is running. At this point, the Close CMD window is invalid and the server is still running in the background.
3. Close method: Open a CMD window again, execute: mysqladmin-u root shutdown can be.
4. Initial root user is no password, very dangerous, set a: mysqladmin-u root password 12345, it is changed.
5. The future operation will need to give the password, mysqladmin-u root-p12345 .....
