• Installation environment: Windows Server 2003 [32bit NTFS]
• Version: MySQL 5.5.15 [: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/]
• References: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/zh/installing.html

Step 1: select the installation type

There are three types of installation: Typical (Typical installation), Complete (full installation), and Custom (Custom installation ).

Typical (Typical installation) InstallationOnly the MySQL server, mysql command line client, and command line utility are installed. The command line client and utility include mysqldump, myisamchk, and several other tools to help you manage your MySQL server.

Complete installationAll components included in the package will be installed. Components included in the fully-installed software package include the Embedded Server library, benchmarking suite, supporting scripts, and documentation.

Custom (Custom installation) InstallationYou can have full control over the software packages you want to install and the installation path.

Step 2: Customize the installation dialog box

All available components are included in the Tree View on the left of the custom installation dialog box. Uninstalled components are represented by the red X icon; installed components have the gray icon. To change a widget, click the widget icon and select a new one from the drop-down list.

You can click Change... on the right of the installation path to Change the default installation path.

After selecting the installation component and installation path, click Next to enter the confirmation dialog box.

Step 3: select the configuration type

You can select two Configuration types: Detailed Configuration (Detailed Configuration) and Standard Configuration (Standard Configuration ). The Standard Configuration option is suitable for new users who want to quickly start MySQL without considering server Configuration. Detailed configuration options are suitable for advanced users who want to control server configurations in a more fine-grained manner.

If you are a beginner in MySQL and need to be configured as a single-user development server, Standard Configuration should be suitable for your needs. When the Standard Configuration option is selected, MySQL Configuration Wizard automatically sets all Configuration options, but does not include service options and security options.

The Standard Configuration option may be incompatible with the MySQL installation system. If MySQL has been installed on the system and you want to configure the installation, we recommend that you select the detailed configuration.
